What's the difference between sugar oranges in autumn, oranges in August and oranges?

First, there are different varieties. Oranges are a kind of citrus. Qiu Jin Sugar Orange is a new citrus variety which is a hybrid of Shatang Orange and Ehime No.30. Excellent individual plants selected from several hybrid progeny groups have stable horticultural characteristics. August orange is an early-maturing variety, which is one of the traditional citrus fruits in Sihui, Guangdong Province, and has a history of many years.

The second is the difference between appearance and taste. The fruit shape of oranges is usually oblate to nearly spherical, and the peel is thin and smooth, or thick and rough, pale yellow, vermilion or crimson, and easy to peel or slightly peel. The orange mesh is more or less reticulate and easy to separate. Usually, the stele is large and often empty, sparse and full, with 7- 14 petals, sparse and numerous, and the capsule wall is thin or slightly thick and tender. Qiu Jin sugar orange weighs 40-80g, and Qiu Jin sugar orange is small in round shape, orange-red, with soluble solids 12- 15%, tender residue, high sugar and low acid, seedless and crisp, rich in vitamin C, high in nutritional value, high in sugar and low in acid, smooth and delicate in peel, seedless and tender in residue. The average fruit weight of August orange is 65g, the peel is rougher and reddish than that of Shatang orange, the edible rate is 72%, the soluble solids are 12- 13%, the taste is sweet and sour, and the core is 13- 18.

The third is different output. Citrus is produced in 135 countries in the world, with an annual output of102822 million tons and an area of 1073 million mu, ranking first among the hundred fruits. In the golden autumn and the abundant season, the yield of sugar orange is 3500-5000 Jin per mu; In August, the yield of citrus is 2000-2500 Jin per mu. The third is that the names come from different sources. Orange is a kind of citrus. Because it tastes sweet as honey, it is called orange. Qiu Jin sugar orange, formerly known as "Qiu Jin Shatangju", belongs to autumn because its fruit ripens in the middle and late June of 10. August orange gradually matured from August of the lunar calendar, so it was named August orange. As one of the traditional oranges with a long history, August orange is almost the product of the same era as sugar orange. After so many years of development, the popularity of August orange in the consumer market is far less than that of autumn sugar orange, but tangerine is obviously different from the former two in fruit shape and size.
