Benefits & Description About Product:

The Kara Kara (or Cara Cara) orange tree is a variety of Washington Navel orange that produces a unique, sweet, and low-acid orange with vibrant pinkish-red flesh, often with subtle berry-like notes. The medium-sized, evergreen tree has glossy green leaves, white fragrant flowers, and a relatively compact size, making it suitable for growing in containers or the ground in sunny, warm climates. The nearly seedless fruit ripens in winter and is excellent for fresh eating, salads, and desserts.
