citrus grove

Lemon tree farm

A citrus grove is an orchard of citrus trees—oranges, lemons, grapefruits, limes, or similar fruit.

The term evokes commercial cultivation, particularly in Florida and California: The frost destroyed half the citrus grove.

Grove suggests orderly rows of trees planted for harvest rather than wild growth.
