New hall is an early navel orange from California, discovered on a branch of the Washington Navel. It is prized for its earliness, allowing harvest from mid-October—about two weeks before the Washington Navel—providing an advantage for degreening and extending the commercial orange season.

Tree :
The tree is vigorous, medium-sized, with steady and healthy growth. Its leaves are slightly darker than those of the Washington Navel, and its slightly lower vigor makes orchard management easier.

Fruit :
The fruits are smaller and more oval than Washington Navel oranges, with a smaller, less prominent navel. They have a deep orange color, sweet and juicy flesh, and a classic Navel flavor. The fruits hold well on the tree and maintain their quality until harvest.

Harvest Period :
Mid-October – January
