Rows of trees that turned sunshine into a billion-dollar breakfast habit.

means A cultivated area planted with orange trees, grown for fruit production.

from "Orange" the fruit-word came into English through French "orange," from Old Italian "arancia," tracing back to Arabic "nāranj" and ultimately Sanskrit "nāraṅga." English speakers eventually dropped the leading "n" — likely a case of 'a norange' being misheard and resplit as 'an orange.' "Grove," meanwhile, is an old native English word, from Old English "grāf," meaning a small group of trees — no exotic journey there, just plain Germanic roots. Put together, the phrase marries a word that traveled across continents and languages with one that never left home.
