Honorable Mention
Young Citrus
DESCRIPTION
Young citrus trees are covered with mesh bags to protect them from the Asian Citrus Psyllid which carry Citrus Greening Disease, or Huanlongbing (HLB). These small covered plants, likely orange trees, create a dramatic scene as they stretch out for miles throughout Florida. Ninety percent of the orange juice sold in the United States comes from Florida orange groves just like this one. AUTHOR
