BUT... the FL oranges have been mainly bred for juicing where the CA oranges have been for out-of-hand eating. The 2 states have opposite types of climates (FL has a dry winter and rainy summer and CA a rainy winter and dry summer, crazy climate change aside).

But in either case, only having domestic citrus already limited during the period when it was normally available, itself drove up the cost.
