Plant Description

Citrus sinensis ‘Tarocco’, commonly known as the Tarocco Blood Orange, is a highly prized variety of blood orange originating from Sicily. At the 150-160 cm height stage, this tree is well-established, featuring lush, dark green leaves and fragrant white flowers that bloom in spring. The Tarocco produces medium to large fruits with a vibrant orange rind often tinged with a red blush. The flesh inside is juicy, sweet, and richly streaked with red due to the presence of anthocyanins, a natural pigment. The Tarocco is considered one of the sweetest and most flavorful blood oranges, perfect for fresh eating, juicing, and culinary uses.
