August 6 -The Valencia Orange Season & Trivia:
Valencia oranges are available February through October, with peak supplies in May, June and July.
Valencia oranges turn golden as they become fully ripe, but as they remain on the tree during warmer weather the orange skin re absorbs chlorophyll from the leaves and it turns green again, beginning at the stem end. The fruit is actually fully ripe, sweet, juicy and bright orange inside.
