Citrus x sinensis ‘Powell Navel’

Citrus x sinensis ‘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 x sinensis ‘Powell Navel’ was first selected in Australia by Clive Neil Powell. It was discovered in an orchard of Citrus x sinensis ‘Valencia Late’, but is probably a mutation of Citrus x sinensis ‘Washington Navel’.
