If you want a juice orange in your home orchard, "Valencia" (Citrus sinensis "Valencia") is one of the best varieties. Its thin skin, abundant juice and rich flavour make it one of the most widely planted orange cultivars. "Valencia" produces two crops of oranges per year and is sometimes called the summer orange because it bears fruit until midsummer. Its mature size is around 13 feet, although various factors can influence the growth.
