Cara Cara Orange

Why Grow Cara Cara Oranges?

Cara Cara Oranges are known for their smooth skin, seedless interior, and distinctive pink-red flesh, thanks to natural lycopene pigments. The fruit has a complex citrus flavour with hints of cherry and berry, making it a gourmet addition to your garden. Ripening mid-winter to early spring, it provides a burst of citrus sweetness during the colder months.

Ideal Growing Conditions

This variety grows best in full sun with shelter from strong wind and frost. Plant in well-drained soil and feed regularly with citrus fertiliser for optimal health and fruiting. Cara Cara is well-suited to warm regions of New Zealand and can also be grown in large containers in cooler zones with protection.

Tree Size And Appearance

Cara Cara Orange trees grow to around 2.5–3 metres tall with a dense, rounded canopy. Fragrant white flowers bloom in spring, followed by high-quality fruit. The attractive foliage and form make this an excellent choice for both edible and ornamental garden use.
