orange grove

Florida fruit farm

An orange grove is a planting of orange trees cultivated for commercial fruit production.

Groves differ from orchards mainly in what they grow—citrus rather than apples or stone fruits.

The term evokes the agricultural landscapes of Florida and California: We drove past miles of orange groves.
