The Roble Orange is a rare, historic sweet orange variety introduced from Spain to Florida in the 1850s. It produces medium-sized fruit with a slightly rough, leathery rind and bright orange, juicy flesh. Known for its rich, intense sweet-tart flavor, it is especially prized for fresh-squeezed juice. Often compared to Parson Brown, Roble is noted for having less fruit drop and excellent fruit quality. This productive tree performs well in warm climates and is a unique choice for home gardens.
