Citrus orange ‘Powell Navel’

Citrus orange ‘Powell Navel’ is a late navel variety, celebrated for its excellent flavour, sweetness and juciness. The peel, deeper orange and fine, is easily removable. The fruit has a more elongated shape compared to other navel varieties. As a vigorous tree, there are some thorns on the branches, but the fruit is seedless. The fruit ripens from late winter, holds well on the tree, and stores fine. Citrus orange ‘Powell Navel’ was first selected in Australia by Clive Neil Powell. It was discovered in an orchard of Citrus orange ‘Valencia Late’, but is probably a mutation of Citrus orange ‘Washington Navel’.
