re: Most of the juice oranges are grown in Florida. California produces the eating oranges. I don't think that's true. I read today that 90% of juice oranges come from Florida (and yes they are Valencias, just like the tree in my backyard). re: Sorry but I really like oranges and orange trees. <g> Did you ever read the book Oranges, by John McPhee? Everything and more that you ever wanted to know about oranges... great little book. I think I have an extra copy, if you want me to send it to you shoot me a PM with your address. John

"Sorry but I really like oranges and orange trees." Citrus in general is nice. I have several citrus trees, a kumquat and a couple of Meyer lemons. Since we get hard freezes every decade or so, there is a limited selection that makes sense. Satsuma oranges do ok, as do tangelos, some lemons and kumquats. They need to be covered when it frosts, but most are good down to the low 20s or high teens. So when we have ice storms like we have had the past few days, they can survive. Now my favorite are blood oranges. Love 'em.
