Although vitamin C was discovered in the 20th century by Albert Szent-Györgyi, the disease Scurvy has been known since Antiquity. The benefits of citrus fruit was proposed in the 18th century by Sir James Lind, then a doctor in the British Navy. Citrus fruits are obviously not the only ones to possess this essential vitamin for humans but are, without a doubt, the best known. Growing citrus fruits could therefore be a good idea to take care of your health. While some varieties will withstand a few frosts, most require more care. In a pot, they will be easy to transport and can decorate your terrace in summer, even in the least favorable climates. The Versailles orangery is a stunningl example!
