No Photo Available
Selections available at the Immokalee Foundation:
V-10-12-7-X-E: This is a Glen St. Mary selection in Polk County. 10-12-7 was one of the first field selections that was free of exocortis viroid. Yields are average to good. Typical Valencia type characteristics. This is still considered one of the better old line Valencia selections.
RRV-472-3-26(STG-31-18-X-E): The Rohde Red Valencia cultivar appeared as a limb sport in a Highlands County grove in 1955, and was propagated by Mr. Paul Rohde and others in several Polk County locations. Clean stock budwood became available through the Citrus Budwood Registration Program in early 1983. Fruit is typical to many old line Valencia oranges in size and production, but develops a deeper juice color. Color scores have ranged from 39-40. These selections have shown some tendency to be unstable and occasionally bear fruit of standard Valencia-type on certain limbs. Nurserymen are cautioned to select budwood from trees
demonstrating good color characteristics in the fruit.
RRV-472-11-43(STG-19-2-X-E): Characteristics are similar to RRV-472-3-26(STG-31-18-X-E).
