Shamouti Oranges / Jaffas

Shamouti Oranges

Shamouti oranges, also known as Jaffas, are an important Mediterranean orange mostly associated with Israel, and are fragrant and pleasantly sweet.

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.
