Named after his wife, JL Doric is one of the more rare Jim Little cultivars.
I love Queen Amber for its unique coloration.
One of my favorite out of my collection i Jackie. I love how this one changes with the temperature and humidity. The petals will curl at the peak of our Arizona summers.

I love these Moro blood oranges! My favorite is my Meyer lemon tree, but this is a close second. I bought this in the spring of 2014 from SummerWinds in Glendale, and was happily surprised to get a large harvest from this little tree the first season. I learned that you have to let them ripen until you see the rind starting to turn red or otherwise you won't see color when you cut into them.
