The Rise and Fall of California’s Citrus Empire/ Hiking a Historic Orchard
I always wanted to visit this historic park but at the time I went, they were closed.
The vlogger got something wrong off the bat. He talks about 'Washington Navel' as if it were the first orange that could be grafted. The USDA would not have bothered importing budwood if previous oranges in the US could not have been grafted to.
The big deal about 'Washington Navel' was that it was seedless.
