Growing a Cara Cara Orange Fruit Tree in Australia

YouTube: Quick overview in text of the Cara Cara Blood Orange Fruit Tree

This variety was discovered in Venezuela in 1976. It is smaller than many other navel selections but has pink flesh similar to Star Ruby grapefruit. In South Africa it matures slightly earlier than Washington navel. Although Cara Cara has yet to be evaluated fully under Australian conditions there is considerable interest in it locally. The dwarf rootstock, flying dragon modifies the top growth making this a dwarf plant that is ideal to use planted out or as a pot specimen.

I am not sure if I do like it yet, it seems a bit temperamental, so I have moved it to get more sun. Mainly pruning off diebacks.

Dwarf Orange - Cara Cara

I have had one fruiting for 4 years. Ripens at the same time as my Washington Navel. Colours up well and has pink flesh with rapberry flavour. Worth owning!

Unfortunately it died! Looked great on arrival, but seemd to get root rot after a couple of months and went slowly downhill till it died. Very sad, but we want to try again soon!
