Description: When the killing cold came, fresh oranges quickly turned into frozen orange juice. Tree scavengers get all they can before decay does its deed.

    Dan<br /><br />They just fall off after a hard frost? can they be used at all?

    Some do fall off, Charlie. Some are shaken off by the harvesters. If picked up quickly, they can still be made into juice. Any time temperatures fall below 28F for 4 hours, damage is likely. The last time there was significant damage was 1989. This time the groves with sprinkler systems and near the lakes seemed to do okay. The trees in this grove looked pretty bad.

    Does that mean my orange juice is going to increase or decrease in price??     
  
Dan Nickens - Feb 22,2009   Viewers  | Reply
    Actually, most of the oranges and juice come from Brazil anyway. The impact of the latest Florida cold spell will be minimal.

    Good show, Dennis, and thanks. In 2005 Brazil produced 17.8 million tonnes to 8.4 million for the U.S. (CA and FL).

    I'm just trying to do my part to keep the economy strong down there.

    Hi Dan:<br /><br />Just returned from a week in sunny Florida. I actually drove through your territory as part of a determined exploration effort. I really enjoyed it.<br /><br />I was truly staggered by the percentage of the state that is devoted to Orange groves. It is much larger than I had previously imagined. I also had the pleasure of eating an orange and a lemon picked right from the tree. Great taste!! <br />I did see some obvious frost damage.<br /><br />I also noted the low water levels in the lakes.... is this due to the weather or real estate development?<br /><br />Best,<br />Larry

    Both.<br /><br />I'm sorry I missed you, Larry, but I'm planning on doing a lot of flying with you next winter.
