Narrative

"Fruit medium-large, ellipsoid to oval; seeds few or none. Color orange to deep orange. Rind medium-thick; surface finely pitted and relatively smooth; peels readily. Flesh well-colored; juicy; flavor rich and sweet. Midseason in maturity. Indistinguishable from Shamouti. Tree moderately vigorous; leaves large; Shamouti-like in appearance; productive.
"This variety is said to have originated in the orchard of Moustafa Khalili in Kalioubiyah Provine, Egypt; whether it occurred as a seedling or limb sport is not reported. It is preferred to Shamouti because the tree is more productive and the fruit somewhat smaller and of finer texture. From descriptions it is evident that this variety and Maltaise Blonde or Petite Jaffa of North Africa are very much alike." (Hodgson, 1967, p 453)

This orange is described in [Hodgson, 1967] pp 453, as "Shamouti Masry (Khalily White, Egyptian Shamouti)". Variety Collect(ion) trees and fruit look like Shamouti. (EM Nauer, 03/1987)

Close examination of 10 fruit of each indicates that this and CRC 3746 {= PI 539617] are identical. (EM Nauer, 02/08/1988)
