So in other words, Noah didn’t have to take all varieties of citrus with him on the ark. He only needed 2, one male, one female.

I got interested in this whole topic about the time the orange evolved into the Screwdriver.

Are you trying to tell me that citrus wasn’t invented in Anderson’s grocery store in my little home town?

So do oranges come from Orange County California, Orange County Florida, Orange County New Jersey?

Why no Lemon Counties, Grapefruit Counties, Nectarine Counties, etc?

Etc?

I thought the article was going to tell where these plants originated, who modified them and when, how they migrated/spread to current locations.

For example are citrus fruits native to Israel, California, China, Mexico etc?
