The Louisiana Sweet Orange, also known as Hamlin, is a popular orange variety, especially in Florida, prized for its excellent flavor and use in juicing. The tree produces fragrant blossoms, and it ripens early in the season, making it a great alternative to Valencia oranges, which ripen in summer.
