Pineapple (or sold as Arizona Sweet in Arizona, like the Hamlin, Marrs, and Diller varieties) (Sweet Orange)
Physical Features
Sicko Department
The delicious scent of the Pineapple orange in bloom is enough to make you lie under the glorious tree all afternoon long, warmed by the spots of sunlight that leak through the leaves, and dreaming of exotic tropical landscapes, because, after all, it originated in Florida rather than a desertish climate like so many other orange varieties.
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. |
