Why Choose Franklin Navel Orange?

Franklin Navel Oranges are among the first to ripen, typically ready from early winter. The fruit is medium-sized with smooth, easy-peel skin and rich, juicy flesh. Seedless and sweet, it’s ideal for eating fresh, juicing, and family use. It’s a dependable variety known for heavy yields and consistent performance.

Growing Conditions In NZ

Plant Franklin Navel Orange trees in a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Regular watering and feeding with citrus fertiliser will support strong growth and fruiting. In frost-prone areas, plant in a warm microclimate or use frost cloth during colder months.

Tree Size And Features

Franklin Navel trees typically grow to around 2.5–3 metres tall and form a rounded canopy. They produce fragrant white blossoms in spring, followed by fruit maturing earlier than many other orange varieties. Their compact and tidy shape makes them easy to manage in both gardens and large containers.
