I am purchasing an old 3.5 acre citrus grove in Frostproof. The grove has deteriorated over the years and today only has about 1/3rd citrus trees (naval) left and the rest is open to either replant or do something else. Rather than fight the greening disease, my hope is to transform it into a multi species grove with varieties of tropical fruits that work in the area. I'd love to connect with others in the area and get recommendations and helpful feedback as I take this new journey.
I've been roaming around Florida for about a year looking for something and kind of fell in love with Frostproof. I know I could probably do more if I was further South or closer to the Coast but this where I want to be. I'd love any feedback anyone in the area has in regards to what has worked well for them, challenges they see, etc.
Thanks,
Steve
