Bay Area–Based Nursery

We specialize in plants grown and delivered in their original pots and soil.
Because of their size and weight, our plants are not suitable for long-distance shipping and are delivered locally to ensure health and quality.

For local plant professionals, we’re always glad to connect and explore ways to support your customers.

The Valencia Orange is the quintessential juice orange, now in a space-saving package. Famous for its exceptionally high juice content, sweet flavor, and thin skin, this dwarf variety brings the classic summer juicing experience to patios and small gardens throughout the Bay Area.

A dwarf variety of the world‘s premier juicing orange, producing full-sized, oval fruit with a thin, smooth, bright orange skin.
Flesh is incredibly juicy, sweet, and flavorful with very few seeds, yielding juice that is balanced and non-bitter—the gold standard for orange juice.
Grows on a compact, evergreen tree (stays 8-10 ft or less with pruning), making it ideal for containers or small landscape spaces.
A late-season orange that ripens from spring through summer and into fall (April-October), with fruit holding exceptionally well on the tree.
While perfect for juicing, the fruit is also enjoyable to eat fresh, though the skin is tighter and harder to peel than a navel.
Requires a pollinator (another citrus flowering at the same time) for best fruit set, though it may set some fruit alone.

Flavor Profile:

Flavor: Sweet, balanced, and pure classic orange flavor with just the right acidity for refreshing juice.
Texture: Extremely juicy with a tender pulp. The skin is thin and clings tightly.
Best Uses: The ultimate home juicing orange. Also excellent for slicing (as it‘s seedless), cooking, marinades, and fresh eating when peeled.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

Q: Why is Valencia the best for juice?A: It has a higher juice content and thinner skin than navels, and its juice has a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity without the bitterness that can develop in some other oranges. It‘s the variety used for most commercial “not-from-concentrate“ juice.
Q: Does it really need another tree to pollinate it?A: For reliable and heavy crops, planting another citrus variety that blooms concurrently (like a Meyer lemon, another orange, or a lime) nearby is highly recommended. It is not fully self-fruitful.
Q: When is the best time to pick for juice?A: The fruit can be left on the tree for months after coloring. For juice, harvest when the fruit feels heavy for its size and the skin is fully orange. The flavor sweetens and deepens over time.
