The vast size of Western Australia (WA) offers a variety of growing climates. This enables the state to produce a wide selection of fresh full flavoured citrus fruits throughout the year.
Traditional growing regions include Carnarvon, Gingin, Bindoon, Chittering, Perth Hills and Harvey. Substantial orchards are now established in Moora and Dandaragan.
Easy peel mandarins and navel and Valencia oranges, plus lemons are the main citrus fruits grown in southern regions. New plantings of seedless Valencia oranges are also being grown for the summer fresh market. Further to the north in Carnarvon, red flesh grapefruit is the main variety grown. Red flesh grapefruit and limes are grown in Kununurra.
