Abstract

The commercially important cultivars vary among citrus-production areas with such factors as climate, soils, and marketing methods. The purpose of this report is to list major scion cultivars by quantity and relative age in Florida and Texas. The number of trees is the most useful comparison, because the average number of trees per acre varies with the cultivar and production area. Trees are divided into four age groups. In Florida, citrus trees 1-4 years old are considered nonbearing; however, the Texas tree inventory groups trees 1-3 years old and does not specifically list data on 4-year-old trees. Florida trees are arranged in similar age groups for comparison. The latest tree inventories are for January 1978 in Florida (1) and January 1979 in Texas (3).
