| The two most
widely planted navel orange varieties in Texas are 'Everhard'
and 'N33E'. 'Everhard' is similar to the 'Baianinha Piracicaba'
of Brazil, having rather smaller fruit that are oval to round.
The navel is very small and closed, commonly being inconspicuous
or absent altogether. The fruit is thin skinned, of very good
flavor, and it reaches maturity in late September.
'N33E' is a local selection
which was discovered as a limb sport of 'Marrs' orange in the
late 1960's near Edinburg, TX. While the fruit is similar to
'Washington' navel, the trees are more productive and more
consistent than 'Washington'. In some years, 'N33E' suffers
extensive fruit splitting in August-September, yet production
still remains high.

Navel oranges are the most
common eating variety of oranges. They are sweet, seedless,
and classic orange-sized. They have comparatively thick skins
and a characteristic dimple on the not-stem end. Navel oranges
are juicy enough to juice, if you like. The juice tends to be
so sweet, however, that it ferments easily, so use any juice
within a few hours. Navel oranges are in season from November
into June.
