    Consider the Navel Orange. Completely unable to reproduce on its own, yet it has millions of progeny because of people like you!

      its a clone of a clone, much like the cavendish bannana, and cultivars of watermelons. and apples too.

      fun fact, there is actually a cold tolerant wild orange that grows in the wild, the trifoliate orange, but its not super edible because its extremely bitter flesh, and it has thorns, and its more resistant to disease than domesticated oranges.
