The Trovita is a close cousin of the Washington Navel. While its cousin is considered a fine eating orange, this fruit is considered a fine juice orange.
The poor Trovita is often compared to the Washington Navel in reference to the Trovita's supposed shortcomings. When an orange on a branch was asked for his opinion he said, "All we oranges ask for is equal treatment in the minds of man. Each variety is different and yet the same. We can be plucked down in a blaze of dying glory and murdered by the millions, but if we can all stand firm in man's mind as different, magnificent orange peoples, then maybe, just maybe, some day they will realize our strength as individual peoples juicing [spitting] in the face of hundreds of years of persecution."
