Washington Sanguine is a blood orange that originated from a mutation of the Spanish variety Doble Fina, discovered in Valencia, Spain. This variety has become the main blood orange grown in Morocco, although its blood coloration can be variable and is sometimes absent in the Atlantic coastal regions.

Tree :
The tree is medium in size and vigor, moderately weak, very early-bearing, and productive, with fruiting beginning in the first years.

Fruit :
The fruits are medium to large, round to oval, often asymmetrical, generally seedless, with a small navel sometimes hidden or a persistent style. The rind is moderately thick, moderately smooth, and easy to peel. Under favorable conditions, the external blood coloration is good, sometimes slightly reddish, but it remains variable. The flesh is moderately juicy with a pleasant flavor, and the fruits hold well on the tree and transport easily.

Harvest Period :
January – March
