Oranges are Ripe
On Wheatland Tree
Wheatland More than 100
large ripe naval oranges are on
the large tree at the Clyde M.
LaFollette fruit farm at Wheat
land.
The tree has three stages of
the fruit represented: the pres
ent crop and a few of the 1946
crop still clinging and buds for
the next crop to unfold soon in
a profusion of fragrant white
wax-like blossoms popularly
used for weddings.
The tree was purchased in
California about 15 years ago
Mr. and Mrs. LaFollette spent
about one month in the Ha
waiian Islands to study Ha
waiian methods of fruit rais
ing.
The tree is approximately
eight feet tall as the taller limbs
have been pruned off. The di
ameter In widest place is ap
proximately same as the height
The tree is of a pleasing symetri-
cal shape. Personal reason for
keeping the tree low is to make
picking of the fruit easier.
