I remember that time — some of my friends in high school had father’s who owned groves. They used to tell me about having to tent the trees and keep little smudge pots burning (they’d give off just enough heat). Still, some lost a majority of their crop. It was a tough year.

In the 1930’s through the 1950’s there was citrus growing all the way up to the Georgia and Alabama state lines in Florida. Then the climate began cooling and pushed the citrus belt back down to around Ocala. The 1984-85 winter pushed it even farther south.
