Re: For what it's worth

Well. for many years now, Brazil has been the major source of orange juice. Coca-cola's subsidiary, Minute Maid, is mostly Brazilian juice] One of the more interesting "aside'ems" of Brazil citrus is Brazil does not have a fetish about appearance. So citrus with scab [a complexion problem at best] are juiced. In Florida, when scab is found, whole neighborhoods are savaged by the citrus cops--even though the problem is only skin deep--pun intended

that included as fact that ornamental plants are a larger industry in
