Abstract

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of citrus tree named ‘RBB7-34’. This triploid cultivar arose from a cross of the seed parent ‘LB8-9’ with pollen from a tetraploid selection of ‘Hamlin’ sweet orange that arose from colchicine treated embryogenic callus. ‘RBB7-34’ produces fruit that resemble Navel orange in size, shape and with the presence of a navel on the blossom end of the fruit, but with greatly enhanced internal and external pigmentation compared with ordinary Navel orange cultivars grown in the humid, sub-tropical Florida climate. Fruit of RBB7-34 are seedless even under intensive cross pollination pressure.
