Orange County Oranges
Orange County hardly lives up to its name anymore. A few orchards may survive, but today the endless citrus groves that once clothed the county in green are only a memory. Before a postwar population boom triggered an almost wholesale conversation of farmland to suburbia, much of Orange County appeared decidedly rural. In 1948, a vast forest of five million Valencia orange trees grew on 67,000 acres.
Found these Orange County Beauties at the Fullerton Arboretum in Fullerton, California.
