Washington Navel Orange Tree

Washington Navel Orange Tree: Sweet Winter Citrus, Right at Home

Bring home California's favorite navel orange. The Washington Navel Orange Tree (also known as Bahia) is prized for its consistently sweet flavor, easy-to-peel fruit, and nearly seedless harvest. Ripening during the winter months, it's a rewarding way to enjoy fresh-picked citrus when you need a burst of sunshine the most.

The fruit is considered seedless, with three or fewer seeds per orange, making it ideal for snacking, slicing into salads, or adding to your favorite recipes. Its dependable production, outstanding flavor, and self-fertile nature have made it a longtime favorite for home growers.

• Produces sweet, flavorful oranges that ripen in winter.
• Easy-to-peel fruit with three or fewer seeds per orange.
• Excellent fresh-picked flavor for everyday snacking and juicing.

Grow the Washington Navel Orange Tree outdoors year-round in USDA Zones 8–11. Protect the tree when temperatures fall below 28°F. In colder climates (Zones 4–7), it thrives in a container, making it easy to move indoors for the winter. Container growing also lets you enjoy the beauty and fragrance of a citrus tree on patios, decks, or sunny indoor spaces. Fresh-picked sweetness is always in season when the Washington Navel Orange Tree is part of your garden.

Please note: This tree ships in a citra pot—a tall, narrow container that promotes vertical root growth and prevents root circling.
