Citrus is one of the crops that "made" California. We learn about its history and how Riverside County California was the seat of California's citrus industry and the wealthiest county in the country. See how citrus genetics are evaluated and preserved. We visit a "living citrus museum", a commercial grove in Pauma Valley, a citrus nursery, and learn how to plant and grow citrus in our backyards.
