The Cara Cara Red Navel Orange Tree – Citrus × sinensis ‘Cara Cara’ is a beautiful and flavorful citrus tree known for its sweet pink to reddish-orange flesh, easy-to-love flavor, fragrant blooms, and glossy evergreen foliage. From the outside, Cara Cara looks like a classic navel orange, but when you cut it open, the fruit has a pretty pink-red color that makes it stand out. Cara Cara oranges are loved for fresh eating because they are sweet, juicy, and usually lower in acidity than many standard oranges. The fruit is great for slicing, lunchboxes, fruit trays, salads, fresh snacks, and sharing with family. The tree also brings year-round beauty to the landscape with shiny green leaves, fragrant white citrus flowers, and bright orange fruit. In North Florida and the Florida Panhandle, Cara Cara Red Navel orange trees should be planted in full sun and well-drained soil. Like many sweet oranges, this variety may need cold protection during hard freezes, especially when young. It can also be grown in a large container where it can be moved or protected during colder weather.
