Valentine Pummelo Trees for Sale

Citrus made easy for growers, nurseries, and distributors

The Valentine pummelo tree is a standout choice for citrus enthusiasts looking for a unique and flavorful fruit. Bred in the 1970s by Drs. Soost and Cameron, the Valentine is a cross of Siamese Sweet pummelo with a hybrid of Ruby blood orange × Dancy mandarin, part of the same breeding group that produced Oroblanco and Melogold. The fruit is large and often pyriform (pear-shaped), sometimes with a pronounced “neck.” It typically has medium-to-dark yellow rind when ripe. The flesh ripens from January to March in Southern California and shows a bright red color that resembles a red heart when cut—hence its name "Valentine."

  • What are the available shipping options for my Valencia orange citrus trees?
    TreeSource Citrus Nursery uses UPS Ground for most shipments within the U.S. Keep in mind that California nurseries can’t ship to Florida or Texas, but can ship to all other states and many foreign countries. Contact us for more information.
  • What is the optimal planting density for Valencia trees in a commercial orchard?
    The Valencia orange trees for sale at TreeSource come in various rootstocks, such as Rich 16-6 trifoliate, C-35, or Carrizo. All will require at least 20-feet of spacing across the row and no less than 10 feet down the row. This spacing is called “double density” planting and will require a tree to be removed in 10-12 years to allow the Valencia trees to fully mature.
  • What kind of certification or testing do the Valencia trees undergo to guarantee their health?
    At TreeSource Citrus Nursery, we grow our Valencia orange trees in CDFA- and USDA-certified greenhouses, following the highest standards of horticulture.. We use only certified budwood that is part of California’s Clean Stock Program.
  • Why should I choose a Valencia orange tree versus some other variety of citrus?
    Valencia orange trees for sale at TreeSource represent one of the easiest citrus trees to grow. They fruit prolifically every year, make the best fresh orange juice you can imagine, and are adaptable to almost any climate. Valencia trees can handle desert conditions, coastal conditions, dry climates, or humid ones. They are the most adaptable of any citrus variety and are counter-seasonal to navels and mandarins, so they are the fruit of choice if you desire year-round citrus fruit in your garden or citrus farm.
