Question

How does one read this map? It suggests to me that lemons are cultivated in New England? | I find that hard to believe.

Data is for the whole of the nation state, not parts of it.Anwar (talk) 15:42, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree - the graphic is misleading. Citrus, including lemons and limes, is mostly grown in Florida and California in the US. Dialectric (talk) 15:32, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Further agreement re above. How about changing the map? Thanks, Pete Tillman (talk) 22:00, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Further agreement. No "proper" citrus can survive outdoors in the cold climate of New England. The vast majority of our citrus fruits in the USA come from Florida, California, Texas, and Arizona, in that order, from greatest to least production.
