Moro Blood Orange

The Moro is a premium blood orange cultivar (Citrus sinensis 'Moro') prized for its striking deep crimson flesh and complex flavor profile—simultaneously tart and sweet with remarkable depth. This Italian heirloom thrives in USDA zones 9-11, reaching 10-15 feet tall with a 10-12 foot spread, and produces its signature fruit from January through March. Preferring full sun and well-drained soil, this evergreen specimen demonstrates excellent drought tolerance once established. Beyond its culinary excellence for fresh consumption and juice extraction, the Moro offers ornamental value through glossy foliage and fragrant white blossoms. Adaptable to both container cultivation and landscape integration, this variety represents an exceptional choice for serious citrus enthusiasts seeking both aesthetic appeal and superior fruit quality.
