Tiki Gardener...on the topic of Oranges, Nobody loved Oranges more than Louis XIV, His Orangerie at Versalles was built in the shape of a "C" twelve hundred feet around, and was the scene of garden parties and masked balls. His gardeners learned how to parch the trees to a point near death, and then dramatically revive them into bloom in planned cycles. This kept the King in blossoms throughout the year.

Not Tiki, but not bad for a bloke back then
