Valencia Late Orange

Citrus sinensis:

The worlds most important orange.

Not, as one would think originating in Spain.

The Valencia almost certainly originated in Portugal and is much travelled, including a trip to England in the 1860s, from where it was then sent to America.

After many name changes it was eventually named Valencia Late as a Spanish Citrus expert in America said it was very similar to an orange in Valencia.

They are vigorous trees and crop well with a good all round fruit.
