Oranges!

Vintage postcard of Riverside, CA where Riverside's orange trees are highlighted.

Oranges grow well in the Inland Empire. The City of Riverside started off as a field of orange groves around Victoria Ave... and so here we are, with orange trees everywhere up to this day.

My Parent's planted this orange tree back in the 80's. It has been neglected for the past fifteen years until my Handy Man started watering it regularly for the past few months and now it bares fruit appetizing to humans. This whole time without being watered regularly, the fruit would not reach full maturation and was appealing to the many birds that have claimed my backyard as their turf to scavenge.
