I'm down in St. Augustine FL and stopped by a street vendor selling plants, just to see.. I've never seen anything like this in person. So many varieties and I cant have any! They are all huge and cheap. huge Dekopan in something like a 30 gallon container ONLY $150! Shocked Evil or Very Mad not fair.

Very nice pictures! Not many places have those kind of orchards. I had the chance to see some small orchards in Portugal which is awesome!

We were in Riverside at the beginning of the month but due to our tight schedule I never made it out to see the Citrus State Park and all the other things that Millet and Joe did. Your pictures at least gave me a mini tour! Thanks for posting them.

RyanL, thanks for the report. Cool
Watching that pics refreshes local ambient (under a heat wave, approaching 100 F).
