The state of Florida produces over 70% of the nation’s citrus supply, and more than 90% of the nation’s orange juice is made from Florida oranges. The citrus fruit arrived in America by way of Christopher Columbus, while the orange trees were planted during the mid-1500s by Spanish explorers. For those who love all things citrus, Florida’s sandy soil and warm climate proved to be the perfect environment for growing these juicy tangy fruits. A wide variety of oranges are grown in Florida, and the fresh season runs from October to April. If you can, we recommend visiting an orange grove during your trip and tasting an orange fresh off the tree.
