There are still lots of groves there, the soil and climate (except for a hard freeze) are good. When we planted our Louisiana navel and lemon tree my wife made sure they came from Plaquemine parish-and yes my tree has lots and lots of oranges on them-waiting for late December to pick them. I am located in Thibodaux.
Plaquemines means Persimmons in Creole/Indian.
