The Hamlin Orange, also known as Norris, is one of the important early-season orange varieties used for juice production in the United States. It produces medium-sized fruit with smooth skin and juicy flesh that has a mild, sweet flavor with relatively low acidity. Known for its reliable production and earlier ripening, it is also more cold-tolerant than many other sweet oranges, making it a practical choice for growers in marginal citrus areas.
