A new variety of Citrus sinensis plant named ‘Onix Blood’, resulting from a spontaneous mutation, has fruit with a dark red-purple hue, almost black. About 60% of the ‘Onix Blood’ fruit display this characteristic. The remaining 40% of the fruit have 1 to 3 striking smooth chimeras, without bumps and vertically intense orange. The fruits of ‘Onix Blood’ are round-oval with a high red juice content that is balanced, have a juicy pulp, and are aromatic. These unique traits make it valuable blood orange tree.
