Roy McClurg, a citrus grower in LaBelle, Florida said, “This is a typical fruit set from a treatment: fruit that is set inside the canopy as well as the outside. With inside fruit, that pays freight and the taxes. I estimate the fruit set on this tree will go 8 boxes which is terrific, way above the average.” Production has increased by 66%.
 
Of trees that had begun to show Young Tree Decline prior to treatment Roy said, “Young tree decline is being retarded. It isn’t happening! The trees are getting better and better.”
 
The vitamin C content in oranges grown using ORMUS minerals tested 121% higher than oranges not grown with ORMUS minerals at the Olive Garvey Center for the Improvement of Human Functioning.
 
Along the Sunshine Coast in Australia, an organic citrus grower showed plots that use ORMUS minerals increased yields of 300% over the control plots and achieved an earlier maturity. His first reaction? “I laughed at it.” Now? “I’ll eat my words. It really does work.”
 

Kurt, an organic citrus grower in Queensland, Australia cited triple yield increase despite several months of drought.

The orange on the far right came from a tree which was watered with ORMUS precipitate for four years and the smaller orange just to the left of it came from a tree that was only watered with ORMUS precipitate for two years.

Following is a chart which compares the sizes of the various fruits in order of their size. The circumferences were measured but most of the weights were estimated based on a ratio of the measured weight of the large supermarket orange.

Below is another size comparison between the two year ORMUS orange, the four year ORMUS orange and the small supermarket orange. In this combined picture each of the oranges is in a standard Pyrex™ one quart measuring cup.

The picture below shows Dana holding these same three oranges after they have been sliced in half. The supermarket orange is on the left, the four year ORMUS orange is in the center and the two year ORMUS orange is on the right. The two year ORMUS orange looks larger by comparison because it is closer to the camera.

Both of the large oranges were grown in Brazil on ORMUS  precipitate. The small orange was purchased from a supermarket in North Carolina.

There are early indications that the plants grown with ORMUS precipitate are more resistant to insects and disease, have a longer growing season due to frost and drought resistance and genetically engineered seeds appear to revert to their primary genetic component. All of these results are very preliminary and need more study before definitive statements on this can be made.
