This is a brief history of how citrus fruit, oranges, lemons, grapefruit and nartjies, known in other parts of the world as mandarin oranges came to Southern Africa and flourished there. The book also describes in detail the great industry that the citrus trees have established. The story this book tells is the story of how the first orange trees, planted at the southernmost tip of Africa, have proliferated until today there are more than 12 000 000 trees in bearing.
