How did the history of Liye navel oranges come about

In 1820, an orange tree in a monastery in Brazil underwent a mutation, with a small orange at the tail of the tree. Additionally, all the oranges in the tree were seedless, so they could not be planted with seeds and had to be grafted. In 1870, two navel orange trees were successfully grafted in California, USA, marking the beginning of the global popularity of navel oranges. Even today, the cultivation method of navel oranges is still only grafting, so today's navel oranges are genetically identical to the ancestral trees in Brazil.
