Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study of the Citrus Industry of Italy
The Italian citrus industry is an ancient one, and evidence exists that Citrus of some type or other has been planted in this region since Roman times, Many Italian lemon orchards are 75 Years of age, with individual trees on root stock at least 100 years old. Since all of the Italian orchards are cultivated by hand, greatest attention is paid to the details of cultivation and tree care, and even the old trees in the orchard seem to have excellent vigor. The climatic conditions under which citrus is produced in Italy and Sicily are practically ideal, the climate being very gentle and mild for most seasons of the year.
