Common Names: Pineapple Orange
Family: Rutaceae
Origin: USA, Florida
The Pineapple Orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) is a distinct and flavorful variety of sweet orange, known for its unique flavor profile that combines the classic sweetness of an orange with subtle tropical notes reminiscent of pineapple. This variety has been a favorite in Florida citrus groves for decades, valued for its juicy flesh, bright color, and exceptional taste.
The Pineapple Orange is the oldest cultivated citrus variety in Florida, originating from seedlings planted around 1860. Highly productive and cold hardy to 26 degrees, this thornless variety matures mid-season with a rich, sweet flavored fruit. The Pineapple Orange is a versatile fruit that’s perfect for fresh eating, juicing, and adding a burst of tropical flavor to your favorite recipes.
Distinctive Features and Uses
Fruits: Pineapple Oranges are medium to large in size, with a smooth, thin, bright orange skin that is easy to peel. The flesh inside is rich orange, juicy, and sweet, with a distinctive hint of pineapple flavor that sets it apart from other oranges. The fruit is mostly seedless and is perfect for fresh eating, juicing, or using in fruit salads and desserts. The Pineapple Orange’s unique flavor makes it a delightful addition to a variety of dishes, from breakfast to dinner.
Leaves: The tree features dark green, glossy leaves that remain evergreen throughout the year, adding a lush, vibrant appearance to the garden or landscape. The foliage is aromatic, releasing a fresh citrus scent when crushed.
Growth Habit: Pineapple Orange trees are vigorous growers, typically reaching 12-15 feet in height, though they can be pruned to maintain a smaller size. They are highly productive, often yielding an abundant harvest from late fall through winter.
