The Orange Blood, or Blood Orange, is a unique and highly prized citrus variety, instantly recognisable by its striking crimson-coloured flesh. This medium-sized evergreen tree produces fruit that matures in late winter to spring, offering a sweet-tart flavour with hints of berry, raspberry, or cherry, depending on the specific cultivar and growing conditions. The vibrant red pigment (anthocyanin) develops best with cool nights and warm days. Blood oranges are seedless to few-seeded, juicy, and have a distinctive aroma. They are excellent for fresh eating, juicing, salads, and adding a dramatic splash of colour and flavour to culinary creations. The tree itself is moderately vigorous, requiring full sun and well-drained soil, making it a beautiful and productive addition to any garden.
