Rhode Red Valencia orange
« on: October 19, 2017, 01:24:09 PM »
Thus far my search for a Smith Red Valencia in Florida has been a bust and I'm down to only a few unlikely sources left to ask.

If I can't find that variety I'll go with my second choice - the Rhode Red. 

Is there anything to recommend it over an ordinary Valencia other than a somewhat darker color?

Some sources says it has a better flavor, others have said "meh, not much different."  Ripening time and productivity seems to be about the same.

What say you?

No help here.  The common Valencia is the only one I've tasted.

We'll, I hope it's good because I unxepectedly stumbled over one today and bought it.

It's a Record Buck tree and looks pretty good.

Midnight valencia is another good one and seedless too.
