Deadline - Florida Citrus, Part 2

Summary Citrus is an endangered species -- Florida has already lost half its orange groves. In Part 2, we'll meet a Frenchman who's devoted his life to saving the Florida grapefruit industry. You'll also see hundreds of acres of trees growing under cover in screened-in closure (like a giant back porch the size of several football fields). They're all fighting against citrus greening, a lethal disease that came here from China 20 years ago. The bug has also made it to Brazil. China and Brazil are less impacted by greening than Florida -- because in those countries, when a grove dies off, the powers that be simply grab more land and replant. In the U.S. -- and especially in a prime real estate state like Florida -- that's not an option. Florida growers have a choice: Stand and fight, quit, or adapt. We'll introduce you to people who've taken every one of those paths.
