Owing to lack of money it was impossible to utilise the

exceptional size and of good quality. The trees are
growing well and in the spring of 1351 about one-third
of the trees blossomed and many of them are now bearing
young oranges. It can be definitely assumed that
oranges can be grown successfully in Bahrain and if
private individuals would experiment in this direction
