answer:I live in Florida, and lots of people around here have citrus trees in their backyards. Most of those people do absolutely nothing special to them – they just kind of came with the house and it’s a mostly annoying bonus. They can be considered “organic” oranges since they have no additives or pesticides. The oranges almost invariably are tiny and fairly bitter, and only the ones at the very top of the tree are orange-orange and tasty. Of course, when you’re getting oranges at the supermarket via a large grower like Tropicana, you’re going to see all “top of the tree” fruit, because the grower is selling the best looking fruit to the shops, and the not-so-hot looking fruit to factories that are making everything from juice to cleaning products with them. The organic growers not only lack the benefits of modern science to improve their product, they also lack the sheer numbers to compete with larger farms for the prettiest display.
