Answers: Valencia oranges for juice. That is the basic variety. And specifically why most orange liquid comes from Florida. Naval oranges are mostly sold fresh, some do get used for liquid but it would be blended .
Since Key Limes are pretty much a Florida fruit too you might have a problem finding trees. Shipment of citrus fruit be halted for awhile end year because of citrus canker. Fruit can be shipped as of Nov. But I think trees are still prohibited.
Sunkist is a coop, but as you would expect they own factories. In Corona they own the orange liquid plant at the North East end of town and almost 2 miles West there is the lemon processing plant. They used to hold a information service at the OJ plant and used to give tours for school, Girl Scouts etc.
Sometimes they'll sell them on e-bay. It's a risky labour unless you can pick it up yourself...but if you can find full grown live palm trees on e-bay, then I'm pretty sure that you can find push button lime trees. Good luck.
