Well I know of a commercial citrus grove in Grand Bay, AL that grows navel oranges and satsumas and grapefruits. I saw the trees for myself out in the open around other satsuma trees.
Also, this article though older (2002) states that farms do grow navel oranges in South Louisiana.
Louisiana growers produce 17 varieties of citrus — ranging from Washington navel oranges and the popular satsumas to grapefruit, sweet and sour kumquats, and blood oranges. In Plaquemines Parish, orchards line the highways, and roadside stands are plentiful from Belle Chase to Boothville. For shoppers who don't want to make the trip south of New Orleans, Louisiana citrus is abundant in grocery stores and fruit stands across the state. Vaughn said this year's navel orange and satsuma crops will remain strong until mid-January, when production will begin to taper off. "Louisiana citrus gives the state's residents a higher-value crop," he said. "They can enjoy wholesale prices at roadside stands and enjoy oranges, satsumas, grapefruit and other citrus products picked at the peak of flavor."
Yes Plaquemines Parish is the southernmost parish in Louisiana, it's the parish that is the "string" on the "boot" that hangs out to the sea. It is surrounded on 3 sides with water and is further south than anyplace in the state. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pl...!4d-89.4742177
Jeff Davis Parish, where Lacassine is, is further north than Plaquemines and oranges cannot grow there but satsumas can.
That small difference in latitude can be a very big difference in temps. The difference between 32 in JD and 35 in Plaquemines on a morning. One freezes oranges, the other has no effect.
No torch for my area. Only about 64 today and no 80's for a while.
El Nino effect, warmer temperatures relative to average further to the north. Pattern will take until the end of December for arctic air to move back from southern Canada into the US again.

I can live with this every winter. Just bring that heavy rain every week.
Low was 27F this morning, 5 above average. High is forecasted to hit 39F today. Rain and 40s this weekend
