what is the best blood orange? I've only tasted the... morro, I think it was. Would be nice to get other members suggestions as I'd like to grow one. Sweetness is a must. Something that doesn't maybe take as much heat as another? Juicy would be great too. Something good to eat out of hand, fresh off the tree

I think I like the Moro best. However, it is dependent on when it's harvested. If left on the tree too long, they can get bitter. Better to pull them a bit early. I generally like them right before the rind blushes much. My dad has them, looking to try a couple of cuttings from his tree.
