Midknight Valencia Trees for Sale
Citrus made easy for growers, nurseries, and distributors
Midknight Valencia orange trees are a premium variety of Valencia oranges known for their exceptional sweetness, low acidity, and virtually seedless fruit. Unlike traditional Valencia oranges, the Midknight variety ripens slightly earlier, typically becoming harvest-ready in late spring to early summer. This makes them a fantastic option for growers who want to extend their citrus season with delicious, juicy fruit. With their rich flavor and high juice content, Midknight oranges are perfect for fresh eating and juicing alike.
These trees are vigorous growers and produce abundant fruit when properly cared for. They thrive in warm, sunny climates and are a great choice for backyard orchards or larger commercial plantings. For those looking to add a reliable, productive citrus tree to their garden, —including the sought-after Midknight variety—are a worthwhile investment.

How Long Does It Take For Midknight Valencia Orange Trees To Reach Full Production?
As with most other orange varieties, it will take up to three years for a Midknight to have a decent crop. It is suggested to pick off any fruit the baby tree produces in the first two years to allow the tree to put its energy into making a tree. Do this in July when you can see the little fruit the best. If you’re excited about the fruit and don’t want to drop them all, leave a few on the bottom of the tree where the fruit won’t inhibit important tree growth.
What are the key characteristics of the Midknight Valencia variety compared to other Valencia oranges?
Most importantly, the Midknight is seedless and also fruits at least two weeks earlier than other Valencia trees.Midknight Valencia orange trees also have leaves that are darker green and are quite striking in a large pot or dooryard setting.

Are there any special irrigation requirements for Midknight Valencia trees in commercial orchards?
Midknight Valencia orange trees don’t like a hot spell when their fruit is the size of a pea. They tend to drop their crop more easily than other seeded Valencias. To help prevent this, make sure your Midknights are well watered in the weeks during bloom and into the month of June. It is important that the trees do not undergo heat stress, especially if the current season’s crop is on the tree at the same time as the next season’s juvenile crop.
