The navel orange gets its name from the belly-button-like formation opposite its stem, which is actually a second fruit or “twin” that never fully develops. Navel orange leaves are typically dark green, glossy, and oval-shaped with a slight pointed at the tip. They are usually about 4 to 6 inches long and have a smooth texture with a slight leathery feel.
