Citrus fruits were introduced to England in the late 15th century, primarily through trade routes established during the Age of Exploration. The first recorded cultivation of Oranges and lemons in England occurred in the early 16th century. By the 17th century, citrus fruits became more widely available, especially among the wealthy, who grew them in greenhouses known as orangeries.
