Easier to PeelĬall them the easier to peel Navel orange! They are also known for their incredible Cara Cara oranges and Dimples mandarins. Sky Valley oranges are marketed by Cecelia Packing. Growing them with this root stock produces a better tasting fruit than what most commercial growers have turned to. This is how you get more Navels since they are seedless and can't reproduce themselves. They take the bottom of a sour orange tree plant and graft a branch from a Navel orange tree on it. They are grown with the same sour orange root stock. These Navel oranges are the original Navel that made California famous as an orange growing state. This is what I wish all grocery store oranges taste like. This is what an orange is suppose to taste like. ![]()
