Florida grows lots of citrus. Though much of the growing water comes
from rain, it's also irrigated when needed. And all of the irrigation
water comes out of the limestone that underlays all of Florida.
Limestone is calcium carbonate, and the water thus contains a lot of
dissolved CaCO3.

I seriously doubt that CaCo3 harms citrus unless the quantity is vastly
greater than what naturally dissolves.
