In Europe, the first harbingers of orange expansion appeared in the 15th century. Portuguese traders began to import seedlings.
Initially, oranges were grown in greenhouses.
Hence the English name of oranges. Dozens of new varieties have been bred, growing from Africa to the southern regions of our country. Who doesn't like the sweet and sour pulp of oranges? Perhaps, there are only a few who hate oranges. This is the most popular citrus tree in the world.
