Characteristics

The favourite mid-season orange in Florida, 'Pineapple' orange originated from seedlings planted  c. 1860 near Citra, FL.  The fruit are medium large, somewhat flattened on both ends, with a moderately thick, smooth peel that develops a good orange color under cool night conditions.  Valencene and aldehyde levels in mid-season oil are typically lower than in the later 'Valencia'.  Juice colour and quality are very good.
