Personal memory by Briscoe
1990 • Miami, FL, USA
Growing up in Miami a very warm and tropical climate. I remember walking home from school with friends and seeing an abundance of fruits trees. We would sometimes pick the fruit on our long journey home. We would easily see a fruit tree in every other yard. Mango, ORANGE, lime, tamarind, avocado, knees berry and so many other trees. Due Florida orange industry, citrus fruit was deemed as cankerous and removed from homes all across Florida. And fruit trees are being regulated by industry, homeowner associations and other frivolous causes in order to profit. How is this possible. Our natural God-given resources are being sold back to us.
