Lane Late Navel Orange Budwood

Citrus sinensis.

Lane Late navel orange, is a late maturing bud sport of Washington navel orange, and was the first of a number of late maturing Australian navel orange bud sport selections of Washington navel imported into California. The tree characteristics are very similar to those of Washington navel orange. The fruit is of similar size and shape, but it has a smoother peel and a slightly smaller navel. The fruit matures four to six week later than the Washington navel orange and stores on the tree for several months after reaching maturity before the quality deteriorates.

Rootstocks of accession:  Carrizo citrange, C-35 citrange.

Season of ripeness at Riverside, California:  February to June.
