Lemonade fruit

Lemonade fruit (Citrus limon x reticulata) is a citrus fruit that is a hybrid between a mandarin orange and a lemon, grown in Australia and New Zealand.

Lemonade fruit

Genus	Citrus
Hybrid parentage	Citrus limon × Citrus reticulata
Cultivar	Citrus limon x reticulata

Origin

It was first discovered in New Zealand in the 1980s.[1] It grows in subtropical regions of the two countries, notably Queensland in Australia and Northland in New Zealand and can grow in the United States.[1]

Appearance

The fruit has a similar appearance to limes, but yellows as it ripens. The fruit is segmented, and can be eaten readily; its low-acid content gives it a sweet taste similar to the orange, but with a flavour not unlike a mild lemon.[2]
