Moro Blood Orange

January 02, 2015 / Christina Barrueta

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.
