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

The Washington Navel Orange is the original and most famous navel, setting the standard for winter eating oranges worldwide. A reliable, heavy-bearing tree that produces large, seedless fruit with a classic sweet flavor, making it an iconic and essential choice for any Bay Area citrus orchard.

The original, world-famous navel orange known for its large size, easy-to-peel skin, and completely seedless nature.
Flesh is a uniform orange, sweet, and aromatic with a balanced flavor that is less juicy but richer in texture than some later hybrids.
A self-pollinating, evergreen tree with a vigorous, spreading growth habit that can become quite large if unpruned.
The quintessential winter orange, ripening from mid-winter into early spring (December-April).
Incredibly productive and reliable in California‘s climate, often bearing hundreds of fruits on a mature tree.
Primarily an eating orange but also used for juicing, cooking, and preserves.

Flavor Profile:

Flavor: Classic, well-balanced orange sweetness with moderate acidity. The benchmark for navel orange flavor.
Texture: Firm, somewhat less juicy than Valencia, but with a rich, substantial mouthfeel.
Best Uses: The standard for fresh eating, lunchboxes, and fruit bowls. Also excellent for sectioning in salads, baking, and making marmalade.

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

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: What is the “navel“?A: It‘s the small, secondary fruit that forms at the blossom end of the orange, resembling a human navel. It‘s a characteristic of this seedless variety.
Q: Is Washington the best orange for juice?A: No, Valencia oranges are generally considered superior for juicing due to higher juice content and thinner skin. Washington is best for eating fresh, though its juice is still delicious.
Q: How do I keep the tree a manageable size?A: Regular pruning after harvest is key. You can maintain it at 8-12 feet with an open center for easy harvesting and good air circulation. Dwarfing rootstock is also available for smaller spaces.
