Cara Cara Navel Orange Santra Grafted Fruit Plant (1.5-2 Feet Height)

Cara Cara Navel Orange (Citrus sinensis 'Cara Cara'), a premium red-fleshed navel mutation discovered in Venezuela, produces medium-large round fruits with bright orange skin enclosing strikingly pinkish-red juicy flesh offering sweeter berry-like flavor with raspberry-strawberry hints and low acidity compared to standard navels. Seedless easy-peel fruits thrive on evergreen trees reaching 6-20 feet with fragrant white spring blossoms attracting pollinators, grafted for true traits and subtropical adaptation including Indian coastal plains while ripening winter for fresh eating or juicing. The 1.5–2 feet plant suits pots, patios, or orchards, boasting lycopene-rich nutrition distinguishing from yellow navels.​
