My thought is that definitions ARE important but speech is about effective communication. The term may be an advertising gimmick about purported quality, but it caught my eye and my interest. I am so glad it did. Amazing flavor. I would be the poorer if TJs had used another term and I had failed to be enticed. They stopped carrying them, btw.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601578586294344615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15418527.post-32005764844511236192010-11-06T20:01:06.008-07:002010-11-06T20:01:06.008-07:00SF Chronicle article from 2005

I've grown some. <br /><br />I think the gap we'll find ourselves on either side of has to do with my understanding of the range of navel oranges among those millions of acres - all identical or even uniform in taste? And why of the many, many varieties of orange out there did Navel become ubiquitous in the first place?<br /><br />I'm sure that whomever concocted a red delicious apple had a good reason for doing so. I've just never tasted an example that bears that out.

Oranges are all grafted like apples, so they don't meet this definition.<br /><br />So what about apples? Everyone would agree that there are heirloom apples, so why not oranges? Heirloom apples are grated but heirloom varieties are heirloom because they've been around a long time and are no longer in widespread commercial cultivation. There are millions or acres of navel orange trees in cultivation around the world. They are like Red Delicious apples or Haas avocados which are grown in vast numbers. You can grow them organically and with tender loving care, but they will never be heirlooms until they have fallen out of favor and are not cultivated commercially. Growing navel oranges on a different rootstock doesn't make them heirloom oranges, just a variety of a monoculture grown on a different rootstock.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15418527.post-11927306288200682932010-04-06T11:33:24.608-07:002010-04-06T11:33:24.608-07:00Since I come at this from the consuming side of th...Since I come at this from the consuming side of things, I can't really comment on either the validity of ripetoyou's claims about "Old Line" trees or your observation that being clonal necessarily means they aren't heirloom. But I will say that if they are using stock that has fallen out of favor, and their oranges are markedly different than what most growers are producing I don't find the term heirloom offensive. Or at least I didn't four years ago. ;) Thanks for stopping by!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06570916301750275522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15418527.post-73667290883554656492010-04-05T23:53:54.527-07:002010-04-05T23:53:54.527-07:00There's no such thing as an heirloom navel ora...There's no such thing as an heirloom navel orange.
