Well what do you know... I have this variegated orange I thought was a Valencia. Cut it open today to find it is a blood orange. It is still in a container so I kept it inside on the cold blasts. This spring it is going in the ground and we will see how well the fruit color up next year with cooler temps. The skin stayed yellow with a few light green stripes, when I picked the fruit I noticed some pale red stripes as well....

So this might be the same varuiety as my variegated blood orange - If the fruits are mostly yellow and have only small orange stripes or even none.
The leaves also have big white areas so that growing is reduced because of only small green areas able to do photosynthetic. Some new flushes are only white...
typcal fruit:

Hi Bernhard. No orange stripes at all. The fruit is mostly yellow with some narrow green stripes. Only when it is ripe do very faint red stripes appear.

I have had this tree for 3-4 years and this is the first time it has fruited. I have lost the tag, so I don't remember who I got it from (FL, TX, CA or AZ). This is the problem with moving plants around... I know Bonnie sent me some budwood of a variegated orange from TX, JoeReal sent me quite a few different budwoods from CA, and a few others from FL & AZ sent me budwood of various variegated oranges...

I possess 2 colorful orange trees:
- An orange tree tarocco variégata alba
- An orange tree valencialate variégata aurea (I do not know if it is blood because I have never had of fruits, it is too small).
Laaz is that your valencia has the colorful foliage of white or yellow? |

Lazz,
what variety is the variegated citrus in the background of the above photo?
The large amount of non pigmented areas really makes that tree stand out.
Beautiful!
