Parson’s Brown (Oct – Dec)

Parson Brown an early orange of Florida, it is widely planted in Florida. It ripens in October and November. It is rounded and somewhat oblong, medium to large, the skin is yellow orange to yellow, medium to large juice sacs with abundant juice. the acidity and sweetness is not usually well balanced unless picked quite early.

Valencia (March – May)

Even though the fruit is deliciously sweet and completely ripe, Valencia oranges may occasionally “regreen” in warm weather. When the fruit ripens on the tree, it turns a bright orange color, as usual. But the warm temperatures of the season may make the skin reabsorb chlorophyll as it hangs on the tree, causing a ripe orange to look partly green.
