Lue Gim Gong; The Citrus Wizard
1860 - 1925

A gazebo containing the bust of Lue Gim Gong was erected on site of the DeLand House to honor "The Citrus Wizard." Often called the "Luther Burbank of Citrus," Lue Gim Gong was an early pioneer in developing many varieties of grapefruit and oranges that won him many honors. Some of the citrus grown today can trace their characteristics back to his experimentation and horticultural skills. Pause here for a moment if you are tired.
