description Trovita Orange Overview
Trovita is a cultivar of sweet orange, Citrus sinensis, selected in California from a seedling of the Washington navel orange. Its fruit resembles a navel orange but generally lacks the prominent navel formation and may contain some seeds. The tree is valued in warm inland and desert climates because it can produce acceptable fruit where conventional navel oranges may develop poorly, although fruit quality still depends on local growing conditions.
