Description
Citrus sinensis 'Lane's Late Orange' 165 mm
Lanes Late Navel is an Australian variety. It is a form of Washington Navel which matures in Spring rather than Autumn. It has all the eating qualities of a Navel orange (easy peeling, sweet, seedless, segments easily) plus the advantage of maturing later than other Navels. When planted in the home garden, Lanes Late Navel will greatly extend the fruiting period when combined with other earlier maturing varieties.
