Moro Blood Orange TreeNew addition to my dwarf citrus family!
Citrus fruits have been cultivated in Sicily for some time and cultivation has been documented since the time of Moorish rule. While Arabs are credited with originally planting bitter oranges in Sicily, the Genovese and Portuguese introduced the sweet varieties in the 15th century. As the fruit's health-benefiting properties became known, Sicily began shipping oranges around the world.
