About Us
CitriSun Nurseries, LLC is owned and staffed by seasoned agricultural professionals — with experience not just in citrus, but across a broad range of care-intensive nursery crops.
This ensures our team can anticipate, identify and defend against not only today’s common citrus vectors, but also plan against and counter the uncommon, unexpected, and unanticipated perils of tomorrow.
CitriSun Nurseries was founded with a clear goal: to provide disease- and pest-free young orange trees to citrus groves throughout Central and Southern Florida.
A Florida industry worth protecting
Florida is the world’s second-largest orange-juice production area, behind only Brazil, and a key supplier of citrus to both U.S. and world markets. The industry drives more than $9 billion in economic impact and employs over 75,000 people — and remains the primary business driver in many Central and South Florida counties.
Built for the age of canker and greening
The re-emergence of citrus canker in Florida in 1995, and the arrival of citrus greening in 2005, substantially impacted the availability of budwood and nursery trees across the state. By late summer 2005, an estimated 62% of Florida’s citrus nursery trees had been eradicated after exposure to canker.
Those disease pressures raised the bar — elevating greenhouse requirements and the cost of entry, while creating real opportunity for established, disciplined operators. CitriSun was built from the start to meet that higher standard, so growers can reset and replant with confidence.
