Shamouti - Jaffa Orange

'Jaffa' was introduced into Florida by H. S. Sanford during the early 1880's. Being a cold-tolerant, high-quality, mid-season cultivar, it quickly increased in popularity.

Jaffa and Joppa are mid-season, seedless oranges that are commonly confused with each other and the Shamouti or Palestine Jaffa from which they apparently originated. Generally, Joppa has a smaller fruit that is also rounder than that of Jaffa, with somewhat richer color and flavor. Jaffa reportedly does not store well on-tree and tends to alternate bearing. Occasional blood orange flecking has been noted in a couple of smaller plantings in some seasons, although such flecking is not reported in the literature for either variety. Acreage is very limited
