Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

Medium, thin-skinned fruit with few seeds and mild, balanced flavour.

Tolerates heat and drought better than navel; also popular in container culture.

Fruits well in climates where navel oranges struggle.

A popular home-garden and container variety in hot regions.
