Nagpur oranges blossom during the monsoon season and are ready to be harvested. The orange crop grows twice a year. The fruit available from September to December is Ambiya which has a slightly sour taste. It is followed by the sweeter Mrig crop in January. Normally, farmers go for either of the two varieties.[5]
