Citrus sinensis ‘Cara Cara’ (Cara Cara Orange Grafted) is a premium navel orange variety prized for its rich flavour, striking colour and dependable performance. This grafted selection produces beautifully vibrant, reddish-pink flesh inside a classic orange rind, offering exceptional sweetness with subtle berry-like notes. Unlike regular navels, Cara Cara is low in acidity and completely seedless, making it perfect for fresh eating and juicing.
Peak season runs from December to April, and the tree is highly productive when grown in full sun. Grafting ensures faster establishment, earlier fruiting and improved overall vigour. Ideal for home orchards, suburban gardens and large containers, this variety delivers both ornamental appeal and outstanding fruit quality.
