There's a few items found in the lead that don't occur in the article:

• "As of 1987, orange trees were found to be the most often cultivated fruit tree in the world."
  • Removed.
• "Orange trees are widely grown in tropical and subtropical climates for their sweet fruit." the words "tropical" and "subtropical" do not appear in the article text.
  • Removed the adjectives.
• "Oranges have featured in human culture since medieval times." word "medieval" does not appear in article text. Start sentence of "In human culture" says "Oranges have featured in human culture since ancient times." Esculenta (talk) 16:50, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
