"Tart Things"

Certain fruits and certain birds can have attitude.

“Did you have any orange juice today?”*…

… if so, it’s less and less likely that it was from Florida.

The canonical articles on the Florida orange juice industry are John McPhee’s two-parter from The New Yorker from the 1960s. But that was then.

Alex Sammon has picked up the baton, with an article on the brutal, unrelenting decline of that business…

Quiet fell over the room, which was neither full nor very loud to begin with, and the 2026 Florida Citrus Show began.

“It should be a great day,” began the event’s first speaker. “Rain should hold off today, even though we definitely need more rain.” No one laughed.

There was no need to say that things were bad. Everyone knew it. The mood wasn’t sour—citrus farmers could handle sour. It was something else. Postapocalyptic. Florida is in the midst of its worst drought in 25 years, but the dry spell actually ranked far down on the list of challenges these bedraggled growers were facing.

In 2003, the mighty Florida orange industry produced 242 million boxes of fruit, with 90 pounds of oranges per box, most of which went on to become orange juice. Now, not even 25 years later, the United States Department of Agriculture was forecasting a pitiful 12 million boxes of oranges, the least in more than 100 years, the worst year since last. A decline of more than 95 percent.

And everyone knew, more or less, that even that figure was not happening. “Twelve million? I would doubt it,” Matt Joyner, CEO of Florida Citrus Mutual, the state’s largest trade group, told me. There was chatter that even 11 million might be out of reach. Could the total end up being less than that, just seven figures? In Florida, the citrus capital of the world, you are today more likely to see the oranges printed on the state’s 18 million license plates than a box of actual fruit.

Rick Dantzler, chief operating officer of the Citrus Research and Development Foundation, took the podium. He was blunt. “It’s been a dumpster fire of a year,” he said.

On the list of immediate problems: the implementation of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, then the government shutdown, then a stunning, historic freeze, days long, at the end of January and early February, that besieged the fragile orange trees.

And yet those, too, were just footnotes to the even larger problem. Already, Florida had lost about three-quarters of its citrus growers. The last of them, these spent survivors, these hangers-on, had trudged to the Citrus Show to talk about the real problem, which was the disease.

In 2005, Florida first got signs of a new affliction in its groves called citrus greening disease. It also has a Chinese name, Huanglongbing, or HLB, because it came from China, where oranges also came from in the first place.

Citrus greening disease is caused by a bacterial infection that is delivered by the gnawing of the Asian citrus psyllid. (It’s now believed the psyllid first turned up near the Port of Miami in 1998.) The flea-sized psyllid bites the leaves and transmits the disease, which slowly chokes out the tree’s vascular system from the inside, taking years to finally show itself. By the time a tree is displaying symptoms—three to five years, in most cases—it’s too late…

Read on for an explanation of how this catastrophe has materialized and for a consideration of what it means for Central Florida (and the other major supplier, Brazil, which is also suffering).

“Who Killed the Florida Orange?” from @alexsammon.bsky.social in @slate.com.

Other comestible news from Florida: “A deadly bacteria is creeping up the Atlantic Coast. How worried should you be?“

As we contemplate the consequences of climate change and contagion, we might consider an alternative to orange juice on this, National Raisin Day. But while raisins are richly nutricious, they are not so strong on Vitamin C, so we’ll have to keep looking…

Florida's former pride, orange growing, is dying.

Slate: Who Killed the Florida Orange?
Deep in desiccated Southern groves, the powerhouse of American citrus is suffering a brutal, unrelenting decline. No one wants to face what that means.

Best time to graft citrus is in the spring:

Wrapping the entire scion prevents moisture loss so the scion is more likely to take than if left exposed. When the scion takes, it’ll start pushing through the parafilm.

Pic 1 is new graft made yesterday, pic 2 is a graft I made last fall emerging now.

(I got a few more experiments left before I post the big citrus thread.)

A neighbouring street is filled with these (bitter) orange trees. The scent is heavenly.

Is there a cure for citrus scale bug infestation on my wintering citrus trees? I drastically cutback branches and wiped down the remaining leaves and took off the obvious bugs from the branches with vinegar and isopropyl alcohol. This scale bug problem has been going on for a few years. #stickySituation 🪴

Just a quick update.
I'm crashing out after eating & washing up. Tired; work has drained me. I'm hoping to get caught up on sleep tonight.
Today, I only have enough spoons left to cook a simple family dinner. Made lemongrass chicken wings & am making watercress soup now.

I picked up a snazzy pair of shoes for Mom while in Chinatown, buying some food supplies. She loves them. Mom hasn't had a new pair of shoes in 5 years. I'm buying her some new sneakers with next paycheque.

I peeled mandarin oranges & a pomelo - juicing them. I'm drying their rinds by woodstove. We use them for culinary/medicinal/insects deterrent.

Fish Platter, Wayne Thiebaud, 1964-80

This has some of that color contrast ringing also, but is more palatable (🥸). Maybe there's room for your eyes to rest.

I've decided that I'm done trying to enjoy fish... Sushi is pretty good, in soup it's pretty good, but I think in most cases I'd be happier eating something else. I'm 50 years old and I don't need to like everything. haha
