citrus groves
Lemon tree farms
Citrus groves are orchards where citrus trees—oranges, lemons, grapefruits, limes—are cultivated commercially.
The term evokes warm climates like Florida, California, and the Mediterranean.
The frost threatened the citrus groves.
Grove suggests orderly rows of trees, smaller and more intimate than an orchard of apples or a plantation of bananas.
