This is another navel that UCR has to release to the public.

Well, looks like this is getting added to my budwood order, Laaz. Thanks for letting us know! I might even be able to get this budwood during grafting classes. Excellent, how cool is this orange?

Yes, please try Patty. The info however says "Availability: Not commercially available in California."

And, I don't see it on either budwood form, Laaz, but I'll check when I'm in class. I'll let you know. What's nice about this interesting cultivar is it also happens to taste good. Always a plus for me Smile

Is this a chimera? Certainly looks like it is...

Yes, Marc. Interestingly, with the trees at the UC Riverside Citrus Variety Collection, they have noticed that there are some regressive chimera branches that revert back to a smooth peel. Recommending to remove those branches. I wonder if this chimera would eventually revert back to the regular smooth peel after a number of years.
