Florida's Fruit Lines Florida's great freeze recovery noted at state fair
The Florida display shows oranges reaching up to the Georgia line with De Soto county outshining peers. Spraying and irrigation boosted quality but many fruits lacked proper spraying, while pineapples dominated on the west coast and Punta Gorda featured large, fragrant apples. Other fruits included Chinese quinces, Japanese persimmons, and a few pears, with peaches moderate and notable mentions of guava and fig cultivation techniques.
