Cutter Valencia Trees for Sale
Citrus made easy for growers, nurseries, and distributors
The Cutter Valencia orange is a nucellar seedling selection known for producing high-quality fruit with good juice content and consistent yields. The fruit is medium to large, with a smooth rind, abundant juice, and a balanced flavor profile that makes it suitable for both fresh consumption and juice processing. Cutter trees are vigorous and upright, with strong canopies and the ability to hold fruit well on the tree, providing growers with flexibility in harvest timing. While they can be somewhat slower to begin heavy bearing compared to other Valencia types, once established they deliver steady crops with good internal quality.
When compared to the Olinda Valencia, both varieties share the dependable traits of the Valencia group, with very few distinctions. Olinda has long been a standard in commercial citrus production, particularly in regions such as Arizona, where it is valued for strong yields and reliable performance. Cutter, on the other hand, is often noted for producing more uniform fruit with fewer irregularities or chimeras, giving it a slight edge in packout consistency.

Cutter Valencia Tree FAQs
How are trees shipped and how long does delivery take?
TreeSource ships its citrus trees using methods designed to protect both the tree and its root system from the nursery all the way to the field. Large Pot (LP) shipments are palletized in heavy-duty triwall boxes, with each tree secured upright and pots stabilized to prevent shifting. Trees are stacked 100 per repurposed triwall on used pallets, all part of TreeSource’s sustainability initiatives. These pallets are loaded into curtain-side semis, which provide protection from wind and weather while also allowing easy side unloading in the field with a forklift. This system reduces damage during transit and keeps trees planting-ready upon arrival. Delivery can often be arranged within a few days of nursery notification, keeping in mind most tree orders need to be placed a year in advance.
Can I reserve Cutter Valencia trees for future planting seasons?
Yes. TreeSource specializes in custom growing orders for shipments as far as 24 months in advance.
Is there a minimum order quantity for wholesale pricing?
Cutter Valencias are used primarily for the orchardist so there is a standard pricing for LP trees and one price fits all order quantities. Check with Sales for pricing and availability.
Do you offer true-to-type, certified Cutter Valencia trees?
Yes. TreeSource offers true-to-type, certified Cutter Valencia orange trees, propagated under the strictest standards to ensure authenticity and long-term orchard health. All of our Cutter Valencia trees are sourced from the Citrus Clonal Protection Program (CCPP) at UC Riverside, which maintains the official foundation block for disease-free citrus budwood in California. By using CCPP-verified material, TreeSource guarantees that every Cutter Valencia tree we supply is genetically true-to-type, free of graft-transmissible pathogens such as tristeza, psorosis, and exocortis, and ready to perform consistently in commercial plantings.
Once budwood is obtained from the CCPP foundation block, TreeSource grafts it onto carefully selected rootstocks in our certified facilities. Trees are grown in clean, controlled environments with close monitoring to promote uniformity, strong root development, and balanced canopy structure. This system allows us to provide trees that are not only true to the Cutter Valencia clone but also prepared for long-term productivity in both juice and fresh fruit markets.
By combining CCPP-certified budwood with TreeSource’s large-scale, quality-focused propagation methods, growers receive Cutter Valencia trees they can trust to be authentic, vigorous, and compliant with regulatory requirements for interstate and commercial plantings.
Can I combine Cutter Valencia with other citrus varieties in the same order?
Yes, you can combine Cutter Valencia with other citrus varieties in the same order. TreeSource regularly fulfills mixed variety orders, and all trees—regardless of type—are produced from certified clean stock, so they can be shipped together in the same triwall pallet loads for efficient delivery.
