Citrus Sinensis ‘Washington Navel’ (Dwarf Washington Navel Orange) – Grafted is a compact evergreen citrus tree producing large, sweet and juicy oranges with attractive bright orange skin. The fruit is mostly seedless and easy to peel, making it an excellent choice for fresh eating, lunchboxes, salads and freshly squeezed juice. Fragrant white spring blossoms and glossy green foliage also give the tree year-round ornamental appeal.
Grafted onto dwarfing rootstock, this productive variety offers full-sized fruit on a smaller, more manageable tree. It is perfectly suited to small gardens, courtyards, patios and large containers, where harvesting and maintenance are easier than with a full-sized orange tree. Washington Navel is one of Australia’s most popular home-garden oranges and provides a dependable winter harvest when grown in a sunny, well-drained position.
