We have 2,400 Valencia orange trees at the Great Park in Irvine to give away to non-profit organizations. The trees are among 5,400 that were donated to the park a few years ago and since have been transplanted into 15-gallon cans. The park has planted about 500 of the trees and will plant some more but has determined that it cannot use 2,400 of the trees. The trees all are healthy, about five to six feet tall and bearing fruit. The trees will be ready for pickup by mid May.
The trees will be sprayed to kill any citrus psyllids but they must remain in the quarantine area. However, the quarantine area is quite large and includes Santa Barbara County, LA County, Orange County, San Diego County, Imperial County, west side of San Bernardino County, and west side of Riverside County. See the link for more detail – http://pi.cdfa.ca.gov/pqm/manual/PDF/maps/3435ACPOverview.pdf
I'll be the contact for any non-profits that want the trees.
