First of all....the area used to be a huge citrus area til a big frost in the 80's that nearly wiped out the industry. There are still some farmers in the area but they're battling some sort of disease. That said...what others have stated is true. The trees do draw rats and other vermine. We'd have planted at least one citrus tree but didn't (goes for palm trees too) because of hearing about the rats.
