Orange Trees in Bloom

Last month the Orange trees were in bloom. The beautiful scents would fill the air as you drive by the many many orange groves through out Belize. We picked this and it scented our appartment! They harvest the current crop as the trees bloom for the next crop. Next Harvest should be in June or so. The oranges here are more green on the outside and are mostly for juicing. Citrus Valley is located close to us in Stann Creek District. The juice is so good!

Ever wonder what happens to the rined and pulp after the juicing? It is use to feed live stock and as a fertilizer. It has the most disgusting smell too... can't eve describe it!
