Botany
Spanish term or phrase: plantas de cítricos en campo
What would be the most suitable English translation of the above? It appears in a brochure describing the activity of a large Spanish nursery specialised in palm and citrus cultivation.

Thanks for any ideas or suggestions!

Su extensión supera las 100 hectáreas dedicadas al cultivo de plantas de cítricos en campo y 90.000 metros cuadrados dedicados al cultivo de cÍtricos ornamentales en contenedores desde c-22 hasta ejemplares.

agree  John Speese: That's what I would say, or even field-grown, as opposed to container-grown (en contenedores). And even though the text does say "plantas" and not "arboles", I would probably still say "trees."
