Information that I have places the reappearance of the orange in Europe in
the 10th century by the Arabs. I seem to remember that it may have been
introduced during Roman occupation by Jewish farmer/gardeners who were
dispersed throughout the Roman empire, but the orange seems to also have
been a victim of the fall of this empire. I do not have my documentation at
work. What other info is out there on this?
