New Method Of Protecting Groves Proves Successful
A grove protection system using man built heaters proved effective during the 1934 35 cold period. Thirty five heaters protected all trees in tested groves while unprotected properties suffered. Pine wood proved most economical fuel with costs between 1.67 and 9.00 for other fuels. The method requires placing lighter wood piles for easy ignition when cold threatens. Local growers anticipate a revival of satsuma production due to this protection.
