Gillette Navel Orange Trees for Sale
Citrus made easy for growers, nurseries, and distributors
The Gillette navel orange is a historically valued California navel selection known for clean flavor, attractive rind quality, and dependable orchard performance. Selected during the period when growers were actively refining and improving Washington-type navels, Gillette earned a place among regional favorites thanks to its traditional eating quality and consistent field behavior. It stands as one of the heirloom-era navels that helped shape California’s reputation for premium winter oranges, especially in growing districts where rich color and balanced sweetness were priorities.
​
The Gillette orange produces medium-to-large seedless fruit with a smooth peel, deep orange color, and a juicy, fine-textured interior. Its flavor is true to the classic California navel profile — sweet, aromatic, and balanced with gentle acidity early in the season — making it reliable for consumers who value traditional navel characteristics. Gillette colors well, offers good peelability, and maintains texture and juice quality through its mid-season harvest window. When handled properly, the fruit holds on the tree with minimal decline, allowing flexible picking when weather and labor timing align.
​
The tree itself shows moderate vigor and forms a rounded canopy typical of Washington-type navels. It responds well to selective pruning and light canopy management that encourages sunlight penetration and balanced scaffolding. With proper irrigation, well-drained soils, and attentive nutrition management, Gillette maintains consistent cropping and good fruit size. It fits comfortably into the core navel production window and pairs well with early and late selections in staged-harvest programs for diversified citrus plantings.
