What Lue Gim Gong did for Florida is he made an orange that ripened in early fall, and we're not affected by the cold winter. This was intentional.
He did this because when the big freeze happened, many crops died.( Including Lue's orange trees) He felt sad and invented an orange that would not die in the winter. Lue did this in DeLand, Florida.These oranges were very useful to farmers that grow oranges because they would not have to worry about them getting damaged in the winter.🍊
