Navel Oranges 101...did you know?
In 1820, in a monastery garden in Bahia, Brazil, a hybrid of the Sweet Orange known as the Bahia Navel Orange was born. Brazil sent a dozen of these trees to the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington D.C. in 1870.
Mrs. Eliza Tibbetts of Riverside, CA wrote to the U.S.D.A. in 1873 asking for two of the new Navel oranges, never knowing that she would revolutionize the commercial Orange industry in California.
This new mutant bud stock called the Bahia Navel, was renamed the Riverside Navel, and then renamed again the Washington Navel after George Washington for a more national appeal. All new varieties of Navel Oranges can trace their roots back to the Washington Navel.
California Navel Oranges are seedless and larger than the Sweet Orange. Its thick, bright orange skin was easy to peel and protected it for shipping. The sweet, full-bodied sections made for an excellent eating orange.
As you can see...Navel Oranges are relatively new to the fresh fruit "scene", but oh how they have made a splash! So when you're ready for all the goodness California Navel Oranges have to offer, we hope you make Pearson Ranch your choice for your citrus needs.
*A few words about shipping*...Pearson Ranch can ship fresh citrus ANYWHERE in the U.S., Including: Texas, Louisiana and Arizona!...Also, you only pay for the shipping you actually need. We don't insult our customers by claiming to offer "free shipping", then stick the cost into the price of the fruit. Please compare "other" on-line fresh fruit vendors and see if what you pay for is what you're really getting!
**Also please note...occasionally bad weather conditions, holidays and/or weekends, require us to determine the best possible day to ship your fresh fruit order. If we have to change the shipping date of your order, we will notify you via e-mail as soon as possible. This is the best way to help ensure the fruit you receive (or send) will be the freshest possible!
***As with any raised crop, our fruit ends up growing into various sizes, so if there is specific size you need or want please call or email us and we would be happy to help you choose the size and quantity that's best for you.

A special note about making juice from NAVEL oranges: Due to a naturally occurring chemical in Navel oranges called limonin, orange juice made from Navel oranges is best served right away. Navel orange juice will turn bitter in just a few hours, even if refrigerated! So, go ahead, juice them up and drink to your heart’s content, and then see if OJ made from Fresh Picked California Navel Oranges isn’t just as delicious and satisfying as juice made from any other variety of Oranges.
