Sweet orange production has three seasons in Florida:

Early Fruit (before December) - 'Navel', 'Hamlin, 'Parson Brown'
Midseason Fruit (December to February) - 'Queen', 'Pineapple'
Late Fruit (February to Summer) - 'Valencia', one of the best quality oranges for juice and fresh fruit.

Note: Citrus can be stored on the tree from February to Summer.
It does not ripen like an apple, but when fruit gets too old it loses juice and becomes dry.
