The fruits thus escape the severe dropping associated with the heat and dryness normally characteristic of the later fruit-setting period of other varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eRobertson originated as a limb sport in an old Washington navel tree \u003cspan\u003ebearing an unusually heavy quantity of fruit\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eRootstocks of accession:  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eCarrizo citrange.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeason of ripeness at Riverside, California:  \u003cspan\u003eDecember to January\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrepared by the Givaudan Citrus Variety Collection at The University of California Riverside.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cpp.ucr.edu","offers":[{"title":"3 buds","offer_id":53010670747942,"sku":null,"price":43.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 buds budstick","offer_id":53010670780710,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5730\/1030\/files\/image_b2e8db60-5803-4f37-a8e7-b47ad0dba5db.png?v=1776178157","url":"https:\/\/evergreenbotany.com\/es\/products\/robertson-old-line-navel-orange-budwood","provider":"EVERGREEN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
