Blood oranges bring deeper flavor and dramatic color to the winter citrus season. Cool nights help Moro develop its signature red pigment and rich, complex juice.
Moro Blood: Moro is the darkest and most dramatic of the common blood oranges. The medium-to-large fruit develops richly pigmented red flesh, abundant juice, and a complex flavor that is deeper than a standard sweet orange. The peel may show a pink blush or red streaks as it ripens. Color and flavor improve with cool winter nights, and the fruit holds well on the tree once mature.
Projected harvest: December through February
Harvest timing varies with weather, microclimate, tree age, and care.
