    The rampant spread of fungi in orange groves is a serious problem. Not skirting the trees allows spores from the soil to invade the tree. 3 foot skirting is recommended to keep splash from the irrigation sprinklers from splashing spores onto the tree. Most molded fruit is from spores from the soil and tends to affect only the lower 3rd. It also keeps ants and other crawly pests. I totally disagree with the skirting. I have broken my back gathering up an acres worth of moldy dropped fruit with every kind of mold I know of. Black mold, green and blue mold, white mold and the dreaded phytophthora. Skirt your trees, especially in Southern CA. The trunks will be fine as the sun doesn't shine directly at the trunk, it is filtered by the rest of the canopy. Mold comes from the soil! Citrus tree pathologists scream about this! It makes me cringe when I see neighboring grove owners neglect this part, plus skirting makes it easier to maintenance the sprinklers, and inspect them, and it makes it easier to spray pesticides to the inside canopy from under the skirted tree. If there are no oranges down there because you skirted, that sweetness will end up in the rest of the oranges. There should never be an imbalance of sweet. Oranges growing down there are often coming off of long stringy twigs as well, which they shouldn't. I'm talking from a Mediterranean climate, so perhaps the mold part is unique to this zone. Maybe talk about thinning too, such as how the fruit should hang solo without touching other fruit or branches. If you have bunches of oranges growing off of a single tiny twig, it's a sign that chemicals are not moving through the tree right and preventing natural abscission of the blossoms. Trees use 0.04% of the blossoms produced to make all the fruit. The other 99,96% should naturally fall from the tree.

      If the trunk shows severe sun damage it might be too late. As long as the trunk isn't damaged too badly there might be.Remove the fruit from the tree and trim out the old branches (now is a good time to do it). Get it on a good watering and fertilizing schedule. Paint or cover the exposed trunk.

      I've done the same thing in the past too. (I think I've made most of the mistakes on this list) all we can do is move forward and learn as we go. Nature is amazing and usually finds a way to thrive, our job is to do the best we can to help it along.
