Gillemberg Navel Orange Budwood

Citrus sinensis.

'Gillemberg' "has outstanding flavour even when grown on rough lemon rootstock in the cooler citrus-producing areas in South Africa.

'Gillemberg' navel matures 4 - 6 weeks after 'Palmer' and hangs well on the tree. The fruit is medium to large in size (larger than 'Palmer'), round to oblong in shape, with a pebbly, sometimes coarse rind, and a Palmer-like tight navel end. Fruit quality and yield on the parent tree is excellent. The foliage is denser and the leaves more tapered than 'Palmer'.

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

Season of ripeness at Riverside, California:  November to January.
