Pineapple Orange

description Pineapple Orange Overview

Pineapple Orange is a mid-season sweet orange variety (Citrus sinensis) that originated in Florida and was widely planted during the early 20th century. The variety earned its name from the distinctive pineapple-like aroma of its ripened fruit, rather than any genetic relation to pineapples. The oranges produce rich, aromatic juice with a balanced sweet-acidic flavor profile that was once highly valued for commercial juice production. Though largely supplanted by varieties like Valencia and Hamlin in commercial Florida groves, Pineapple Orange trees can still be found in heritage citrus collections and older groves throughout the state.
