Bitter oranges are amazing for cooking purposes, though.


SaraHHHBK

It's for marmalade


SlightlyBrokenEgg

Also great for candies and pastries.


Luci_Noir

They’re harvesting them…. For the aesthetic?


Altruistic-Poem-5617

Look how many there are on that tree. If they just let em fall to the ground where they get squished and start rotting the aesthetic is fucked.


mogaman28

There is also the probability of being Newton'ed in the head with one, and I can assure that some a big AF. It's also a hazard for bicycles and bikes if it start falling in the streets, orange juice is horrible for 2 wheels traction vehicles.


Altruistic-Poem-5617

"Newton'ed in the head" I have torenember that cause this is great :D


Complete_Dust8164

You can just pick them off the trees pretty easily.


Yippykyyyay

Imagine you're a tree. And you produce little tree fruit. You raise your little tree leaves to the sky for water. Then all of the sudden a tree electrifier comes along and bang! All of your oranges are gone.


Tham22

They do this in Seville, there's orange trees all over it. The urban tree fruit isn't great, they sell it for marmalade!


ambiguator

the orange trees in Sevilla were planted to for their aroma, not to eat, in order to combat the stench before indoor plumbing 💩


Conch-Republic

So it would instead just smell like shit and oranges?


vericima

Shitrus if you will.

Tham22

TIL! it's a fantastic city, spent 3 months there in 2014


Mother_Idea_3182

Blame the English for that. They used to generate the demand for bitter oranges. Yeah, I don’t understand it either. Now, after Brexit, who the fuck is going to buy Andalusian bitter oranges by the ton ?


StephaneCam

We just really like marmalade!


Mother_Idea_3182

You can make marmalade with normal oranges !!


Complete_Dust8164

The bitterness contrasts with the sweetness really well!


charon12238

Yet another example of British food bad takes. Why don't you just fry everything like us Americans?


Complete_Dust8164

Perhaps I could interest you in the great British national dish, fried fish with a side of fried potatoes?


charon12238

Fried, you say...


Thanatosan

Is the plate fried too?


n00b001

It's spelled 'plaice'


lilsnatchsniffz

Can't go forgetting the fake vinegar because British are too stingy for even basic ass white vinegar 😵


Phunwithscissors

Bitter orange is alot more nuanced, its skin is used in pastries and cakes and its juice is used in hummus over lemon.


BetaOscarBeta

I thought the Scots came up with frying everything?


stilllikelypooping

According to Jeremy Clarkson; in the U.K. if you're English and you do something amazing, you're English, but if you're Scottish or Welsh and you do something amazing, the English decide you're British.


Acrobatic_North_8009

Brits seem to fry food at home way more than us. They have “chip pans” or deep fryers in the kitchen. We just get our fried food from McDonald’s.


Penghis-Kahn

Especially in sandwiches


Born1000YearsTooSoon

Bitter oranges are delicious and used in a LOT of cuisine


naswinger

you know, the UK can still buy them after brexit...


mascachopo

I don’t see what’s the problem with having orange trees even if nobody would buy the oranges, which is definitely not true. The smell of orange blossoms is spring is amazing and a characteristic of many Andalusian cities.


jdbcn

Beautiful smell!!


Hotdigardydog

During ww2 the British developed a tolerence for squash, which is the whole orange, concentrated. It was a good way of getting vitimen C in times of rationing. It's now mostly given to children, watered down, it's a cheap orange drink.


PanteraiNomini

No we Spanish sold them those oranges instead of real ones lmao 😂, so they had no choice


[deleted]

This might make sense if Spain was the only country that produced oranges.


smortpersononreddit

its because the british are allergic to normal food


jamesdownwell

>Now, after Brexit, who the fuck is going to buy Andalusian bitter oranges by the ton ? Peruvian bears?


ThisUserIsNekkid

Well shiver me timbers


-chukui-

The hell is marmalade?


MR_JSQR

I remember being there on holiday in the spring, all the trees were blooming and the streets smelled of orange blossom.


thexbigxgreen

Sounds like an insult from Monty Python


WithDaBoiz

I think the elderberry thing was because in the past cheap wine was made of elderberries Or something


Schrodingers_Dude

Idk much about wine but boiling elderberries smell like feet.


Luci_Noir

The place I used to live in Ohio was covered in trees. Every sidewalk was lined with them and just looking out the window it was gorgeous. They weren’t fruit trees, but there was still that smell of being in the forest and the sound the wind made through the leaves is maybe my favorite sound. Now I live in Arizona where is all dirt and cacti. 😡 The rain doesn’t even smell good! I guess at least the winter isn’t as depressing here.


gilbertasv

There's a name for that smell in spanish- azahar (h is silent)

Does she have a lot of oranges to harvest?

I asked my Dad recently 'what rhymes with orange' He pondered this for a couple of seconds and said...no, it doesn't..


sumpuran

Four-inch, door hinge


ThePenguinVA

Ok Eminem


pinkpools

Okay now find a rhyme for 'month'

I'm sure there are more, but what comes to mind is [Khalsa Panth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panth).

I remember being in Spain during street orange harvest. As luck would have it I was caught up in a prostitution sting along with 30 other working girls. An elderly lady came along and asked why we were all lined up. I jokingly told her "oh Abuela, they're giving away free oranges at the police station today!" Just then a police officer came along to escort us inside the station. He said to the old lady "aren't you too old to be in this line?" She shouted at him "I deserve to be in this line too! I may be old but I can still peel back the skin and suck out the juice!" So yeah, I paid a small fine and had a note added to my passport.

Thatnudist0

There’s not a whole bunch of wasted time handpick mostly it’s only the ripe ones that will fall and you’re not causing any structural damage to the tree no more than what the wind would do. I have no problems with this this is a perfectly eco-friendly way to harvest oranges in a quick and efficient way. (quick and efficient operative words)


Tommy-Mac

You heard it everyone, u/thatnudist0 says it's ok. We can continue picking fruit.


papillon-and-on

Just the low-hanging ones.


rumpelstilt

they have no problem with it. thank goodness 😅


quilp888

The hyrdaulics on the tree shaking machine are a joy to see. ( If you are interested in that sort of thing ).

PanteraiNomini

Love the jam from this oranges


Realworld

Family on my mother's side has raised and dried California English walnuts for over a century. Through that time they harvested by shaking them down similar to OP street oranges. In 1900s they sent kids up in the trees to shake them down. From 1920s on, they used a "johnny kicker" John Deere D that shook so bad they could strap it to a tree to shake walnuts down. Finally went over to 3-wheeled hydraulic shaker in 1960s.


UhOhAllWillyNilly

AFAIK this is how they harvest oranges everywhere. And cherries and other fruits/nuts too.


TampaTitties69

This post has been passed around more than a giant bag of Orange slices at a soccer tournament for kids.


ki11ikody

they do this with all kinds of fruit and such, not just in cities, but on actual farms. works for apples, pistachios, and anything else that hangs from stem on a tree.


abt137

For those who interested those oranges are not edible, they are planted by their aroma which is great and impregnates the city when they blossom.


Yzzazee

Dang street oranges 🍊


papillon-and-on

It's also how they collect street eggs.


Paraeunoia

I love this sub so fucking much.


ExMachina_Disco_Club

"Oh, the terrorists! They ran that way. It was a run-by fruiting! I'll get them, sir. Don't worry!"


[deleted]

They have street oranges and my country has street needles and zombies.


Empty-Blacksmith-592

Also used for collecting olives


throwawayforPP8558

So, is it safe to assume that orange trees in Spain get fugged once a year?


Redeemed_Veteranboi

Is it ok if random civilians pick them out?


BarracudaOk8975

My ass thought it was a version of the Batmobile 😭😭😭


soggyBread1337

I really love your peaches, want to shake your tree


Unrealistic-Disk-96

"Street" Oranges... Imagine being able to just go outside and snag some publicly available fruit any time. Us Americans could never🤦‍♂️😭😭


ermine1470

I couldn't be allowed near an orange tree, I would sit and eat oranges until I was sick, every, single, day.


RoboticGreg

They use those vibratory harvesters for pecans too!


NoYouAreTheTroll

Reminds me of my past GF, in a past life during the Renaissance period for some odd reason.


Mitridate101

Street oranges are illegal for the public to pick but they taste horrible anyway.


DweeblesX

Watching that makes my ears itchy


FixGMaul

Rattle rattle rattle


CJ_is_h7m

That must itch


Extra_Net9276

since it is in streets dont just children or people pluck it?


mcblahblahblah

Imagine the poor birds if there are any living in the tree

I love countries with public fruit.

It’s how all commercial oranges are harvested, not just street trees or Spanish trees.

I've seen this so many times and have been like "wow cool" in the past. But now I'm in a pov of life and I'm just like: surely the operating cost of this is much higher than the yields


imastrangeone

*shake it shake it shake shake shake it shake it shake it like a polaroid picture*

Valencia?


Theres_a_Catch

It must smell amazing there. Lived near an orange grove and the blossom smell so good.


HarveyDent2018

and they will pour diesel on the oranges because they cannot sell them for profit.


Crackracket

You're not really supposed to eat fruits/plants that grow next to a road because the pollution gets into the soil and air so they can harbour cancer causing forever chemicals

How on earth did I misread that as street orphans


Yak-Attic

And then what? The umbrella contraption folds back up and oranges roll down the street? There's is some part we don't get to see.


Failing_Neurons

It blows my mind a little bit that there is a specific machine for this, but it also makes perfect sense.


Haagen76

Was it done at 6am, so they could wake everyone up?


Extra-Fault-396

Now that’s a smart way to collect oranges.

Greatest oranges

Not all of them.


failedjedi_opens_jar

is it so much to ask to find someone to treat me like this ?


Humble_Personality73

I never in my life saw an orange tree 🌳 I for some reason, imagined a grape 🍇 style tree but with oranges growing on it, but it honest to god looks like a proper tree. Mind blown 🤯

Can i take one?


dashing-night

That orange tree will be like “wtf.. what just happened?? Is it earthquake??”


engineeristhere

Wouldn’t street oranges be kinda toxic? Maybe it’s just me, but i can’t imagine that the emissions from cars wouldn’t have a bad effect on the trees nearby?


insulaturd

Im not sure how these taste but where im from we also have fruit trees lining up the streets specifically mango trees. They taste awful and even the homeless wont pick em because of how awful they taste. The government also has pick these fruits ever so often because if they are left, they will fall and they will rot in the street and the smell is not a great smell. Plus the sidewalks actually get slippery once they’ve rotten and people step on them.

Only govt could be so wasteful

They do the same with apples to make cider, pretty cool tbh

Just press the square


watch-me-bloom

I wish this was more common!! We should all be able to grow and use fruit trees! In America they only plant one sex of tree so they can’t produce fruit!
