A natural mutation arose near Leeton (NSW / New South Wales) in orchards of a producer, giving brown / orange oranges a very sweet taste.
The producer and the company Pacific Fresh with reproduction rights. They come to authorize the company Variety Access, a company specializing in launching new varieties of citrus on the market, assess the potential of this orange.
The test of a plantation to sell these new oranges will begin in the region WA (Western Australia).
