This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

There is a request, submitted by Catfurball, for an audio version of this article to be created. For further information, see WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia.

The rationale behind the request is: "Important".

Description for the second photo "Oranges after peeling the skins" appears to be incorrect. This photo shows an orange where only the zest has been removed. "Peeling" citrus fruit generally refers to removing the entire rind, not just the zest. ("The thick bitter rind is usually discarded", per this same article.)

Reproduction is confusing

Suggest the line "The sweet orange reproduces asexually (apomixis through nucellar embryony); varieties of sweet orange arise through mutations" in the lede be deleted, as it is directly contradicted by the section "propagation" in the body of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:300:CA70:A8C7:6023:7DB4:25BA (talk) 17:49, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What's the difference?

The article lists Orange Rind and Orange Peel separately, but there seems to be little if any difference between the two and most people use the terms interchangably. If there is a difference, it should be explained in the article. If there isn't any practical difference, the two paragraphs should be combined to avoid confusion. (If combined, both terms should be mentioned in the title.) JDZeff (talk) 20:30, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Separate articles proposal

As the list of Navels and Valencias is quite long i suggest leaving only a summary here and opening two detailed additional articles, "Valencia orange" and "Navel orange", using the content of the present. How do you find the idea? Alkis0 (talk) 15:36, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
