In the 50's and 60's there were citrus groves all over S. LA, MS, and AL and there were large groves of tung oil trees in S. MS. Climate change wiped every single citrus grove off the map and Hurricane Camille wiped out the tung oil industry here. Maybe climate change will enable citrus to grow again in the southern parts of those states. Time will tell. My Corsican Citron grew into a fine tree but I had to bring her in each fall. The neat thing about that citrus tree was that it was pretty much in bloom all year long and was constantly producing fruit. Its gone now but I started a few cuttings before she was sold. I don't know whether I'll let them grow or not. I won't have room to bring them in if I let them grow into trees.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
