orange groves

Florida's signature orchards

An orange grove is a cultivated area where orange trees are planted in organized rows for commercial fruit production.

These groves thrive in warm climates like Florida, California, and Mediterranean regions, where citrus farming is a major agricultural industry.

The family had owned the orange grove for three generations.

The term evokes images of orderly orchards with fragrant blossoms and bright fruit against dark green foliage.
