I've been working my butt off the last few weeks, digging edging
trenches for my wife's endless "garden areas," trimming trees, shaping
Nellie Hollies, spreading mulch, and this morning I dropped a dead 70'
tree behind the back yard and chainsawed it into 4' lengths I could dump
in the woods for the woodpeckers.

I am cutting up an old orange tree this weekend.


What happens with "old" orange trees? Do they stop producing? My wife's
grandmother had a few old citrus trees in her backyard (St. Pete), and
they were still producing fruit...and still are, as far as I know.

They will stop after a while, typically 30 years or so but this one
was sour oranges anyway and it was only a rat feeder.
It was a pretty tree but now I have a wild acorn grown oak tree that
is going to take it's place.
When I moved here we had 20-30 citrus trees and they have been going
away a few at a time for 30 years. This is the last one.
