NewHall are beautiful oranges to eat, very juicy, ours are just ripening now. Grow fairly quickly too if fertilized and watered.

I was wondering why anyone would plant this variety when I googled sour oranges. I made some yummy marmalade which no one else wants to try. Get a decent eating one.

I like New Zealand Navel oranges for eating and marmalade, any use really - and for peeling well, including all the white pith, slicing across into 1/2cm thick slices, and spreading in an overlapping layer in a shallow dish. Bring to a simmer 1/2 cup water and 1/2 sugar. simmer till lightly golden and drizzle over the oranges - the result, oranges and yummy caramelly-toffee. Yum!

Seville oranges are fantastic for marmalade but otherwise pretty limited in the kitchen as they are very sour and seedy. Unless on dwarfing stock they will grow into an enormous tree. I wouldn't plant one unless I had unlimited orchard space and lots of friends who like marmalade.
