World of CitrusCunningham Citrange
Cooper, Reece, and Furr (1962), citing Swingle (1913), report reciprocal Poncirus trifoliata × Ruby sweet-orange crosses at Eustis in 1897 and say 11 named citranges were grown from a single fruit. Cunningham is one of the named citranges in their account. This is a historical report, not an independent verification of the pedigree of the individual accession.

Walter T. Swingle’s 1913 paper lists Cunningham among the named citranges and discusses the broader 1897 crossing series. This documents the Cunningham name by 1913; the paper does not identify who assigned it.
