North Florida Growing Note: Sanguinelli Blood Orange can grow in the Florida Panhandle, but it is less cold-hardy than satsumas and should be planted in a protected location. Place it on the south or southeast side of a building where it receives full sun and protection from cold north winds. Young trees and container-grown plants should be covered or moved to protection when freezing temperatures are expected.

Cool nights help blood oranges develop their characteristic red pigmentation. Fruit grown during warmer winters may have less red coloring, but it can still develop excellent flavor. Allow the fruit to remain on the tree until fully mature for the best sweetness, flavor and interior color.
