  • Patent number: PP27777
    Abstract: ‘UF 11-1-24’ is a new and distinct, nearly seedless, midseason sweet orange.

Fruit of ‘UF 11-1-24’ also reach a higher solids/acidity ratio than any other ‘Midsweet’ clones, enabling a slightly earlier harvest, and thus, potentially avoiding freezing events common in late December/early January harvests.
