Who likes oranges?

Well if you want to just make up fake words I can’t stop you.

Never seen a seed in one I’ve eaten. -But not saying you can’t find one!

[RookieBuds]

Cara cara are my new favorite

Driving through the orange orchards in the spring time in So Cal was almost overpowering. You could smell them for miles.

Anyone in the north east needs to go to Logees. 200 year old ponderosa lemon in the ground in Connecticut. Dude who planted it-died pruning it so the story goes. Its like a botanical garden where you can buy stuff. I live over 2 hours away but have made the trip a few times.

I had to pipe up here because oranges are my go to for covering up smoke smell. After a smoke if I need to cover up the smell I just peel an orange - spritz some of the peel on my beard and face and hands and eat it. By the time I handle the skins and devour the thing I like to believe I’ve covered up the lingering weed smoke smells.

This is insanely smart - I’ve been doing it backwards! Many times I’ll grab a clementine or something similar BEFORE I rip. 🫡

Absolutely. As I read the replies I thought of the citrus trees we had in our backyard in Fort Myers. Honeybell and Minneola are the same fruit with two names. It’s a tangelo (tangerine/pomelo) and the Duncan grapefruit is the ‘pomelo’ used in the cross. Honeybells are seedless which is odd because the Duncan is loaded with seeds. Duncan is one of the sweetest grapefruits, but the seeds turned many people away from them.

There’s a kumquat that lives in the yard now. It took a hit during a stretch of low temps in the low 20s F this winter.

Anita knows about Sunshine Trees.

I read that oranges in the tropics don’t turn orange on the outside because the nights don’t get cold enough. So they are oranges, but they are green.

“I’ll have a green please.”

Interesting. So the natural green masks the unhealthy green? I have scurvy I wouldn’t know.

[Magu]

Hey @Foreigner . Why you be hatin on fruit?

[Foreigner]

A tangerine was mean to me in the third grade and I never got over it.

[Magu]

Fruit are good people. I mean good people are fruity. Wait … or something like that.

[Foreigner]

I don’t know that tangerine was kind of a dick.
