The Navel Not Thornless

Categories: Fruit Growing

I have lately purchased some Washington navel orange trees, and upon

arrival I find they have thorns upon them. I thought the Washington

navels were thornless.



The navel orange tree is not thornless. It is described as a medium

thorny variety, so that the finding of thorns upon the trees would not

be in itself sufficient indication that they were not of the right

variety.
