@haphazard-hstead, not sure about palms. I grew up surrounded by orange trees and they use to stay on trees a lot longer. I would eat 3 or 4 oranges a day during the season. In High School, our wrestling team would run down a country road to a stop sign and back surrounded by orange orchards. I would eat two or three during the two mile run. I remember those orchards always had huge super easy to peel navel oranges. Navels are a winter fruit and the valencia is a summer fruit.
