Louisiana's citrus industry is small compared to the citrus industriesof California and Florida. The quality of Louisiana-grown oranges, however, is equal or superior to that of all oranges shipped in from other states. Commercial production in Louisiana is limited primarily to Plaquemines Parish, although satsuma oranges are grown successfully throughout southern Louisiana and as far north as Baton Rouge. Home orchards from Baton Rouge south, despite the cold hazard, should include a few citrus trees. Citrus is a dual-purpose plant. It produces nutritious fruit and serves as an ornamental. Satsuma oranges, kumquats, lemons and others blend into almost any landscape plan. The Satsuma orange and the kumquat are more resistant to cold than other citrus fruit and are recommended for planting from Baton Rouge south.

The Louisiana citrus industry began when early setters planted citrus seeds along the Mississippi River below New Orleans. At first, only the so-called "sweet" seedlings were planted. They required from five to seven years to produce a paying crop. In most cases, these early groves were unmanaged.
