Florida Citrus

It's true that over 80 percent of citrus produced in the United States comes from Florida, and nearly 87 percent of Florida Citrus is processed into orange and grapefruit juice.

At Davidson Brothers we add to those numbers, but in a better way. Our oranges are hand selected, and are tree ripened to perfection. If you're a citrus lover, then you'll know how important the environment is. Our Florida citrus is grown along the Indian River where the climate and soil are perfect for growing some of the finest citrus around. Just ask our customers. 

Florida citrus can be very beneficial to your heatlh as it can boost your immune system, and support your body's digestive system if eaten regularly.

Citrus is a common term and genus (Citrus) of flowering plants in the rue family, Rutaceae. Citrus is believed to have originated in the part of Southeast Asia bordered by Northeastern India, Myanmar (Burma) and the Yunnan province of China. Citrus fruit has been cultivated in an ever-widening area since ancient times; the most well known examples are the oranges, lemons, grapefruit and limes. The generic name originated in Latin, where it specifically referred to the plant now known as Citron (C. medica). It was derived from the ancient Greek word for cedar, kεδρος (kedros). Some believe this was because Hellenistic Jews used the fruits of C. medica during Sukkot (Feast of the Tabernacles) in place of a cedar cone, while others state it was due to similarities in the smell of citrus leaves and fruit with that of cedar. Collectively, Citrus fruits and plants are also known by the Romance loanword agrumes (literally "sour fruits"). The taxonomy and systematics of the genus are complex and the precise number of natural species is unclear, as many of the named species are clonally propagated hybrids, and there is genetic evidence that even some wild, true-breeding species are of hybrid origin. Cultivated Florida Citrus may be derived from as few as four ancestral species. Natural and cultivated origin hybrids include commercially important fruit such as the florida oranges, grapefruit, lemons, some limes, and some tangerines.
