Early start to Florida Valencia orange season following 2022’s hurricanes
The Florida Valencia orange season is getting an early start this year largely due to the fall’s Hurricanes Ian and Nicole. “The packing houses have been running for a couple of weeks now on Valencias and normally we’d be just starting now,” says Adam Roe of Noble Citrus. “We had to start the crop earlier because the early orange crop was short after the hurricanes.”
