Sanguinelli Blood Orange

Here's some slices of one of two fruits from my young Sanguinelli Blood Orange tree. Also, in the bowls you see Gold Nugget Mandarins on the left and Washington Navels on the right.

Tastes like Valencia orange with a bit of berry flavor.

doesn't the temperature have to drop to a certain temp for it to take on the blood color? i have always been told that, but yours are red and you live in a warmer planting zone than me. go figure.

I've never heard such a thing, but perhaps it is true in the tropics. Someone here will likely ferret it out for us.

I've always heard that too. One of the reasons they aren't recommended in Hawaii. Actually pretty much all orange rinds remain greenish to somewhat orange. Growing one anyway ( a Moro?), but no flowers after 5 years. A neighbor's took 5 years. I actually grew Sanguinelli in Oakland. The fruit was beautiful, but very dense. Not really warm enough in summer there.

It gets its signature pigmentation from the natural occurring plant compound, anthocyanin. It is the same compound found in pomegranates, which share blood oranges' trademark coloring.

The Sanguinelli blood orange is a pedigree from the rich citrus growing regions of Spain. It is a hybrid variety that evolved from unknown parentage. Growing regions and climate play a critical factor in the intensity of the flesh's color and the level of pigmentation that occurs in the skin. Large temperature fluctuations - hot days and cold nights - provide for the intensely colored blood oranges.

Looks great. I have two varieties of blood orange I am growing. Unfortunately both trees are young and have not fruited yet.

Thanks Kubali. What I do know from experience here in southern California is the Moro is more widely adapted but the Sanguinelli is superior in flavor.

Richard to y'all have any problems with citrus greening out there?

Nope. So far the quarantine program has been very effective.
