The Newhall is a fantastic variety of navel orange that produces large, oval or oblong-shaped fruit with a very sweet and juicy flavour.
Whilst not as well-known as some other varieties, this is an excellent option to choose for your backyard or home orchard as it is an attractive tree and is a productive cropper. It grows well in either a pot or in the ground.
