Midnight Valencia Orange Tree
Orange ‘Midnight Valencia’
The Midnight Valencia Orange is a premium selection of the classic Valencia, prized for producing virtually seedless, exceptionally sweet fruit that ripens earlier in the season. Originating as a mutation in South Africa in the 1920s, this refined cultivar is the variety behind the famous orange juice served at Starbucks . It features a vigorous, upright tree with large, glossy, almost grapefruit-like leaves and fragrant white blossoms . The fruit is medium to large, with a smooth, bright orange rind and incredibly juicy, low-acid flesh that makes it the gold standard for home-squeezed juice, as well as being delightful for fresh eating .
