The Diller Orange



	Diller (or sold as Arizona Sweet in Arizona, like the Hamlin, Marrs, and Pineapple varieties) (Sweet Orange) *Physical Features* Tree Size: Small to medium. Tree Characteristics: Moderately vigorous, somewhat upright. Productive under desert conditions. Fruit Size: Fair. Fruit Color: Orange. *Sicko Department* Ease of Peeling: Fair. Seeds: Few to many. Holds on Tree: Good. Flavor and Juiciness: Sweet and juicy. The Diller is the only orange variety under the category of "Arizona Sweet" that actually originated in Arizona. Now, if we could just get the "Sweet" part removed?. Along with the Hamlin, Marrs, and Pineapple varieties, the Diller is stuck under the vague grouping of oranges called Arizona Sweets when grown in that state. We must return their ethnical identities! Each variety is diverse and special and does not deserve to thrown under the decidedly gustatory label "Arizona Sweet." Arrrgggh. It makes my blood boil. Previous Orange Variety *** Next Orange Variety Sweet Varieties * Sour Varieties *** Blood Varieties Facts immediately after the orange type have been unmercifully ripped from Richard Ray and Lance Walheim's Citrus: How to Select, Grow and Enjoy from Horticultural Publishing Co., Inc. Facts used in the ranting paragraphs after the basic description are all true and from Citrus: How to Select, Grow and Enjoy, except for those obvious bits that are the Erin-madness.
