The Story Behind It
The Pineapple Orange was developed in Florida in the late 1800s and quickly became one of the state’s most famous orange varieties. Despite the name, there’s no pineapple in its genetics, the name comes from its unique tangy-sweet flavor that reminded growers of pineapple.
For decades, it was a staple in Florida’s orange groves, known for producing outstanding juice with a distinctive twist. Though less common in modern commercial groves, it remains a prized variety for collectors and home gardeners who want a taste of citrus history.
