    everyone with half a brain knows that the citrus crops are lost for this year and maby next, however, is there any information anywhere that can tell me and others the best way to care for my trees now or are they a total loss?

      My parents lost their Citrus grove in the late 40’s as a result of a freeze. Our trees were older and mostly grapefruit. Trees were bulldozed and burned. They went to ‘truck farming’….so did many others, and prices for produce plummeted. We lost everything and moved out of the Valley. I have since heard in a casual conversation from someone from the Valley that many people did what we did with their Citrus trees and it turned out that people who didn’t burn, ended up with a healthy grove. I was told that we had much older trees and they would not survive.
