Orange trees- The orange tree is very popular in Florida. Orange trees usually range in height 20 to 30 feet. There are citrus trees in Florida for you to pick oranges. A type of orange is the popular orange stamped with the Indian River. The Indian River oranges are sweeter and more juicy. The Indian River Groves start north of Daytona Beach and continues along the Atlantic coast about 225 miles to Palm Beach and is near the river which bears its name. The Indian River is really not a river, it’s a lagoon that goes about 2 miles wide that separates the Florida mainland from the beaches. This Indian River area is washed by the salty air of the gulf stream and is to calm the tempers of the oranges. That is why it is believed that the oranges are made sweeter and more juicy.
