Color

Ripe oranges are only orange after they got cold, cf. this helpful article. In countries where it does not get cold, they remain green and only turn yellow/brown when they rot. Degreening harms the quality and is only done because consumers in countries where oranges are bought but not produced think that green oranges are not ripe. An explanation of this with a photo of a ripe green orange would be helpful. Galant Khan (talk) 21:57, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Navels sterile

The article claims that navel oranges are sterile, and created only by cutting and grafting. But then it says that the cara cara navel is believed to have originated as a cross between the Washington navel and the Brazilian Bahia navel. Are THOSE navels not sterile?
