Blood Orange Tree ‘Sanguinelli’ (Citrus sinensis)

This unique orange has flesh that is purple rather than orange. Like other cultivars of Sweet Orange, its growth rate is moderate making it perfect for containers. Flowers arrive in spring, which are followed by medium sized oranges that ripen in late winter. A gourmet citrus, the fruit has a distinctive flavor that's sweet. We often have oranges hanging on our tree well into summer that still keep good eating quality.
