Each of the three orangeness tree miscellany has at least one cultivar that produces sweet juice for different mouthful around the world . In the United States , commercial orange tree succus draws mainly from the cultivars of the Citrus Sinensis variety breed for mass polish . Other sometimes - sweeter Orange River of the Reticulata variety help make good desserts . Levels and varieties of pleasantness can vary , as tasted from one tongue to another .
Step 1
Florida orange juice drinkers may recognise the " sweet Orange River " Citrus Sinensis variety , the most usually cultivated orange tree Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree in the United States , by their fruits , the Hamlin or the Valencia . The cold-blooded - large-minded Hamlin , harvested between October and January , and the double fruit - bearing Valencia , reap from March to June , represent the bulk of Florida ’s commercial-grade Orange River tree crop . But there are also other popular Citrus Sinensis cultivar , include blood orange , a smaller fruit with crimson flesh , and navel oranges , also grown in California . The Citrus Sinensis Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree can hit a height of 20 to 30 fundament with a rounded crown of leathery , shining leave that can fan out up to 20 foot wide . They call for full Sunday to produce the most yield . They can be drought tolerant , with some yield harm the more severe it is , and may need protective cover if the temperatures precipitate below 24 degrees Fahrenheit .
Step 2
Citrus Reticulata
A smaller , spiny Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree reaching between 15 and 20 feet , the Citrus Reticulata also acquire sweet , luscious fruit ; but unlike the Sinensis , the flesh of Reticulata orange come in easily severable department . Better eff as mandarin or tangerine tree oranges , Citrus Reticulata fruit can be juiced just as well as Sinensis cultivars . While tangerine orange juice is commercially marketed , most Reticulata cultivar are eaten by hand . This variety of sweet orange matures ahead of time in the harvest home season , beginning in either November or December . Citrus Reticulata Tree need full sunlight to hold the most fruit . The trees can easily survive a drouth but will not produce much fruit . While sudden freeze below 25 degrees Fahreheit can be negative , some Reticulata tree can acclimatise to lower temperature if they come gradually .
Step 3
Citrus Aurantium
Most of the fruits from prickly Citrus Aurantium tree with thickset crowns that can range from 10 to 30 human foot in height live up to their uncouth sour orange name . Citrus Aurantium cultivar like the Mediterranean Seville or the Italian Bergamot are used to make marmalade or tea . Others make oils and perfumes . The Italian chinotto tree , a myrtle - leaved Aurantium cultivar , arrive at a acrimonious orange balmy drink of the same name as well as the Campari apertif . Despite its sour name , some indisposed Aurantium fruit produce American bittersweet succus for different ethnical sense of taste , including the Paraguay from South America and two Formosan cultivars , the Vermillion Globe and the Leather - Head . Unlike the Sinensis or Reticulata varieties , Citrus Aurantium orange tree are oblate or oblong - ellipse shaped . Citrus Aurantium trees are among the hardiest citrus trees . They can boom in imperfect ground and with little cultivation . They start to bear yield early in the time of year , start in October .
