Tarocco Sweet Blood Orange
Citrus sinensis ‘Tarocco’
Citrus sinensis 'Tarocco' is a highly prized, evergreen blood orange tree celebrated for its exceptional flavor and striking crimson flesh. Native to Italy, this vigorous, spreading tree produces fragrant white blossoms and glossy, dark green, waxy leaves. Its fruit is renowned as one of the largest and sweetest blood oranges, featuring vibrant orange skin and deep, ruby-red, almost seedless flesh with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Harvested from winter through late spring, it is an outstanding choice for home orchards, container growing, and edible landscapes in warm climates.
