The sweet orange cultivar ‘Budd’ is a blood orange developed in Florida. It produces medium to large-sized round fruit with thick, tight, orange skin. The flesh is richly flavored and the flesh is blood red and stable, but requires cool nights to fully develop the color. This is one of the few blood oranges which develops the characteristic fruit color in Florida. The fruit ripens mid-season and holds on the tree well.
