citrus farming
Growing lemon trees
Citrus farming is the commercial cultivation of citrus fruits—oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, and their relatives.
The industry concentrates in subtropical and Mediterranean climates where frost is rare.
Florida citrus farming never fully recovered from the 2004 hurricanes.
The term covers everything from grove management to harvesting and pest control.
