Cara Cara Oranges

Our Cara Cara Oranges are ripening!  Cara Cara is a cross between Blood Orange and Washington Navel.  It has the sweetness of the Navel (possibly sweeter) and the flesh of the Blood Orange.  This will be our first crop.  We actually had 10 oranges two years ago but a branch broke from a tree, hit the top of a second tree and that fell on the Cara Cara taking off only the branches with the ripening oranges.  It has taken the tree two years to recover so I hope we have better luck this year.
