Lue Gim Gong Orange

This story is a tribute to the remarkable yet undercelebrated life of Lue Gim Gong, the Citrus Wizard of Florida one hundred years ago. In 1894, the Great Freeze devastated citrus groves across Florida. Lue Gim Gong Orange is acknowledged by its cold-tolerance and longer fresh life, and it saves the fruit cultivation industry millions of dollars. For his contribution to the practiced horticultural wizardry, Lue Gim Gong was awarded the prestigious Wilder Silver Medal by the American Pomological Society.
