    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    'Valencia' is the most widely planted edible citrus in the world. Its sweet and seedless fruits, ability to hold on to the tree, and constant production makes 'Valencia' highly desirable for both producers and consumers. These same qualities give 'Valencia' an advantage over other citrus as a container plant. Unlike most other oranges, its fruit ripens in the spring and early summer.
