Westin Orange: Get Sweet Juice by the Glassful

The Westin is a sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) with Brazilian roots and a Florida home, prized for fruit that delivers exceptional juice. Its globe-shaped oranges run rich and sugary with a balanced, low-bitterness flavor, and the flesh is loaded with bright, deep-orange juice — this is a variety chosen first and foremost for what comes out of the squeezer. As a mid-to-late-season orange, it ripens after the early types fade, extending homegrown citrus deeper into the season just when grocery fruit starts to disappoint. Eaten out of hand it's clean and sweet; pressed into juice it's the reason people plant a Westin in the first place.

Why You'll Love the Westin Orange

• Juice-bred genetics. Descended from Brazilian juicing stock, the Westin packs an unusually high volume of sweet, deeply colored juice into every fruit — a noticeable step up from a generic eating orange.
• Sweet and low in bitterness. The flavor leans rich and sugary with gentle acidity, so the juice tastes balanced and smooth rather than sharp.
• Mid-to-late-season ripening. Fruit matures after the early oranges are gone, stretching your harvest window and giving you fresh citrus when most stores can't.
• Reliably productive. A healthy Westin sets a generous crop, rewarding the space it occupies with enough fruit for fresh juice all season.
• Evergreen and ornamental. Glossy foliage and fragrant white spring blossoms make it a handsome landscape or patio tree even between harvests.

Growing Zones & Care

Hardy outdoors in USDA zones 9 through 11. In colder climates, grow it in a container and bring it indoors for winter. Plant in full sun and well-draining, slightly acidic soil, and water moderately.

Whether it anchors a warm-climate yard or summers on a sunny patio in a container, the Westin Orange earns its keep at the breakfast table — a sweet, juice-heavy orange with the kind of flavor that makes fresh-squeezed worth the trouble.

Please note: This tree ships in a citra pot—a tall, narrow container that promotes vertical root growth and prevents root circling.
