  Orange
Fortunately, budded orange trees from Europe had been imported into Florida in 1824 and budwood from these and of others later brought in from England was utilized in topworking existing sour and sweet orange seedlings.
Mature trees that have been frozen back, or that are to be converted to more suitable cultivars, may be top-worked by cleft-grafting, crown grafting, or budding of the sprouts that arise after the tree is cut off close to the ground.
A vinous decoction of husked orange seeds is prescribed for urinary ailments in China and the juice of fresh orange leaves or a decoction of the dried leaves may be taken as a carminative or emmenagogue or applied on sores and ulcers.

Except for this differential CO enrichment of the chamber air, all of the trees have been treated identically, being irrigated at periods deemed appropriate for normal growth and fertilized as per standard procedure for citrus trees.
Our primary goal is to continue the experiment until both the ambient and CO -enriched trees achieve this ultimate equilibrium state and exhibit relatively constant growth rates for several years in a row.
In between these two light intensities, sour orange tree leaves exposed to ambient air would tend to die over the long term, while those exposed to the extra 300 ppmv of CO would continue to grow.

 In Florida, a bitter fight over cutting down orange trees | csmonitor.com
The trees were destroyed in an effort to protect the state's commercial citrus groves from an outbreak of bacteria called citrus canker.
Whenever a diseased tree was located, the state cut down every citrus tree - whether diseased or not - within 260 acres of the diseased one.
Under that program, every tree within 1,900 feet of a diseased tree is destroyed - which means the government is paying $55 for every tree in a 260-acre area of a densely planted citrus grove.

In the 14th year, the lowered photosynthesis enhancement was shown to be due to a decrease in the content of the primary CO2-fixing enzyme, and thus a decrease in the capacity of photosynthesis.
Understanding how slow-growing perennial trees will be affected by future increasing levels of carbon dioxide after a period of years or decades is crucial to understanding the future impact of global climate change.
From measurements made in the 14th year, the lowered photosynthesis enhancement was shown to be due to a decrease in the maximum rate of CO2 fixation (Vcmax), and to a lower activity and content of the primary CO2-fixing enzyme ribulose-1,5,-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco).
