Citrus is native to the Orient, having been known in China more than 4,000 years ago. Early explorers carried citrus to the Mediterranean area of Europe. From there it was carried to the West Indies by early settlers. Citrus subsequently spread across the Americas with early explorers, missionaries and settlers.
