Florida citrus freeze damage report

Following the sub-zero temperatures in December 2010 in Florida, a special survey was carried out on January 10-11 to access the damage caused by the freeze.
About 38 percent of Florida's early- and mid-season oranges and 12 percent of its late-season oranges had at least some damage, but more than 80 percent of the state's orange trees escaped with no leaf damage.
The USDA cut its Florida orange crop forecast for the 2010-2011 season by 3 million boxes, to 140 million 90-pound boxes.
Using the Federal-State Inspection Service standards, fruit was cut and scored for damage at depths of ?-inch, ?-inch, and at the center, recording the point of greatest severity of damage.
