Hybrid fruits are an interesting selection. Lemons (citrus lemon) and their hybrids

At the very beginning of the last century, the American Franz Meyer, traveling in China, discovered an unfamiliar variety of the most famous citrus fruit near Beijing. Local residents grew the plant in small pots; no one knew what it was called, but it was believed that it was a hybrid of lemon and sweet orange. It began to be called the Chinese dwarf or simply the Chinese lemon. Meyer brought him home, for a long time researched, trying to establish the origin, study the features. As a result, this hybrid of orange and lemon received widespread in the New and Old Worlds, the name “Meyer hybrid” or “Meyer lemon hybrid” was firmly assigned to it.

The most familiar type of citrus fruit, crossed with orange, is a low-growing, very attractive plant with a compact crown covered with dark green, medium-sized leaves of regular shape. Its flowers are white with a bluish or purple tint, often solitary, but sometimes collected in racemes, much smaller than those of conventional plants. The fruits are small, weighing up to 100 grams, round, covered with yellow or somewhat orangeish, glossy skin. The fruits are very juicy, sweet, with a characteristic aroma; they are similar in composition to their progenitor, but contain slightly less ascorbic acid.

A beautiful tree no more than 1 meter high grows well in apartments, like other indoor varieties of citrus fruits. Over the course of a year, it can produce 10 or even more fruits that form on the shoots of the current year. There has long been a hybrid of lemon and bitter orange called bergamot. This word is well known to us, since teas are flavored with oil from the fruits of this plant. The fruits, like the fruits of bitter orange, are not used for food, but are used for flavoring in cooking, perfumery, and in the production of liqueurs and tinctures. This word is fixed in the name of the aromatic variety of pear, but it has nothing to do with the smell of tea with bergamot.

Is it possible to cross lemon at home?

Europeans received the Meyer hybrid already in finished form, it is difficult to say whether it was bred on purpose or just happened by accident. Lemon is grown at home by many lovers of exotic plants, but only the most patient can cross it with other plants. As a rule, this is done by specialists, using seeds and cuttings of plants of the desired varieties and species.

If you wish, you can try to develop a completely new plant by crossing it by grafting (budding) with oranges, tangerines, grapefruits or other citrus fruits.

It is quite possible to obtain an original mixture of qualities and tastes, but this may take many years before a truly new variety or variety is obtained.

Other lemon hybrids

There are many results of crossings with other citrus fruits, since they do not grow here, often when we encounter interesting fruits, we do not even know what they are. You can find yellow-orange chino lemon fruits with the acidity of the named fruit and notes of orange. Small drop-shaped fruits of the Drop variety, as reflected in the name, with delicate sourish, very juicy pulp and skin that smells slightly of mint, are nothing more than a cross between the Meyer plant and the kumquat. It was created by painstaking American breeders.

The Thai variety is a hybrid of tangerine with sour fruit and sweet orange. Its fruits are large, orange, peel like a ripe tangerine, and taste like sour citrus, only much sweeter. Lemon was crossed with mandarin to produce limandarin or rangpur. The dark orange fruits have a very sour taste and grow no more than 5 cm in diameter. This plant is characterized by high productivity, drought resistance, trees can grow from 2 to 5 meters in height. Vigorous trees are often used as rootstock for other, more capricious citrus relatives. The Japanese call it haim, and the Brazilians call it kravo.

There is also a variety of Lipo - a cross with grapefruit, in London's Royal Botanic Gardens it is called the imperial lemon. This prickly plant has large dark green leaves, large white flowers, and a rounded crown. Its fruits favorably combine the tastes of the fruits of the original plants; they are juicy, not too sour, with a characteristic bitterness, covered with a thin yellow skin rich in essential oils.

1. Dancy tangerine is just a type of tangerine native to Morocco, Sicily, China and the United States. As a rule, tangerines are red-orange bright tangerines, sweet, with an easily peeled thin skin.
2. Orlando. The result of pollination of the Duncan grapefruit with pollen from the same Dancy tangerine.
3. Tangelo Nova is a hybrid of clementine and tangelo Orlando.
4. Thornton - a hybrid of tangerine and grapefruit.
5. Uglifruit - this drop-dead beauty happened by accident. In 1917, one J. J. R. Sharp, owner of Trout Hall Ltd. (now, as far as I understand, Cabel Hall Citrus Ltd.), Jamaica, found this gnarly crap in a pasture. Recognizing it as a likely hybrid of tangerine and grapefruit, he took a cutting from it, grafted it onto a sour orange and continued to re-graft the offspring, choosing fruits from least amount seeds In 1934, for the first time, he gave the country so much uglifruit that he was even able to begin exporting it to England and Canada.
6. Tangelo Wekiwa, Canadian, light-skinned, the result of a repeated cross between a tangelo and a grapefruit.

7. Tangor is the result of crossing tangerine and sweet orange. Or rather, that is what is commonly believed. In fact, everything is a little more complicated. The most famous tangor is Temple (Temple, Temple, Temple). Its origin is not entirely clear.
8. Clementine. And this is a hybrid of a mandarin and a king orange, created by the French missionary and breeder Father Clement Rodier in Algeria in 1902. Actually, if you buy a tangerine, and it is somehow too sweet for a tangerine, it is quite possible that it is actually a clementine.
9. Natural tangor of the East - tankan. This culture has been cultivated since time immemorial in southern China, on the island of Formosa (Taiwan) and in the Japanese prefecture of Kagoshima. The tree on which the tankan grows is indistinguishable from a tangerine, but the fruits make one suspect that this citrus is a hybrid with an orange.
10. Ortanique – also probably a natural tangor. It was also found in Jamaica, but already in 1920. Since tangerine and orange trees grew nearby, they decided that it was a hybrid of them. The name was collected from the world along a thread - or (ange) + tan (gerine) + (un) ique.
11. Royal mandarin (Citrus nobilis, kunenbo, Kampuchean mandarin). His appearance is quite memorable, it rarely happens in our stores and is sold simply like a tangerine

22. Indian lime (aka Palestine, Palestinian sweet lime, Colombian lime) has long been considered a hybrid of lime and lime, but attempts to cross these plants did not result in anything similar.

23. Australian finger lime. It is also called citrus caviar.
24. Same. There are many varieties of them, with pulp different colors. The origin is also unclear. The fruits look like multi-colored cucumbers. Australian chefs use the pulp of finger limes as a garnish, add it to salads and soups, and decorate fish and meat dishes
25. Limandarins (limonias) - the results of crossing tangerines with limes or lemons. Limandarins have been bred in China since time immemorial. It is believed that the first Limandarin was the result of crossing a Cantonese lemon and a Cantonese mandarin. The Chinese red lemons that appear on our shelves are typical lemons.
26. Rangpur - Indian hybrid of tangerine and lime

27. Otaheite (sweet rangpur, Otaheite rangpur, Tahitian orange). This is also limandarine, also believed to be native to India. Discovered in 1813 in Tahiti, from where Europeans took it around the world.
28. Rough lemon or citronella. Originating from Northern India, it is a hybrid of mandarin and citron.
29. Pomelo. It's also Citrus maxima Citrus grandis, pummela and sheddock - in honor of Captain Shaddock, who brought pomelo seeds to the West Indies (Barbados) from the Malay Archipelago in the 17th century. Huge round or pear-shaped fruits with a rather thick zest, big amount juicy pulp, rough, easily separated membranes. One of the original citrus fruits, from which all their diversity comes. The pomelo peel is yellow, green, and the pulp is yellow, green, and red.
30. Pomelo with lime.
31. Hybrid – Duncan grapefruit, variety bred in Florida, in 1830.

34. Sweetie - grapefruit hybrid from Israel
35. New Zealand grapefruit. It is called grapefruit, but it is believed to be either a natural tangelo or a hybrid of pomelo and grapefruit. The place of origin is also unclear - either China or Australia. Considerably sweeter than most grapefruits.
36. Chironha is a citrus whose fruits are the size of grapefruits and taste more like oranges.

39. Kumquat. These are small, yellow or orange fruits, about the size of the outer phalanx of an adult man’s thumb, similar in shape to miniature lemons. They are usually sold in large grocery stores, in laminated foam trays. They appeared in Russia relatively recently, just a few years ago. At first they were hellishly expensive, but today they have become cheaper. Now, if you haven’t tried them yet, you’ve probably seen them
40. Limequat Eustis (hybrid of Mexican lime and round kumquat)
41. Mandarinquat Indio

What seemed like an incredible fantasy a few decades ago has now become a reality. In recent years, an unprecedented breakthrough has been made in the field of genetic engineering. Thanks to progress, hybrids of vegetables and fruits have appeared on store shelves. The most unusual of them were Lemato ( blue tomato with the smell of lemon), Pineberry - white variety strawberries and others.

One of the most popular varieties of hybrids is a mixture of orange and lemon.

Citrus fruits were no exception. The fruits of these trees are sold all over the world. One of the most popular varieties of hybrids is a mixture of orange and lemon.

How did the hybrid come about?

The most important mystery of this plant was the history of its origin. It is surrounded by an aura of mystery, controversy and various speculations. Only the etymology of the official name of the tree is known exactly.

It got its name from a scientist who spent many years studying the lemon-orange. His name was Meyer, and new fruit- Meyer hybrid. It is not known exactly, but some scientists claim that it was he who developed the hybrid of lemon and orange.

Another version says that the plant was found in Beijing, and from there it was taken to different countries and to different continents.

What is unique about this plant?

A mixture of lemon and orange has its own characteristic differences that are unique to this species.

A distinctive feature of the hybrid is its short stature. These trees rarely exceed the one meter mark. But, despite this, with proper and good care, you can get up to 15 fruits from one indoor tree. Externally, the fruits look like lemons, but they taste as juicy and sweet as oranges.

Another feature of this tree was the shape of the leaf. It is distinguished by its regular outline, which cannot be found in other citrus fruits. They have an incredible smell that cannot be compared with any known fruit.

Meyer Fruit Benefits:

increased vitamin C content;
actively fights swelling;
promotes a healthy appetite;
helps reduce blood sugar levels.

Plant care

Growing citrus plants, including hybrids, has a number of advantages. Firstly, these are very beautiful shrubs. Secondly, you can harvest a small harvest from them. For those who have already dealt with growing citrus fruits, the Meyer hybrid can easily be grown.

For those who have not previously encountered citrus cultivation, it may seem that it is quite difficult, but it is not. It is enough to follow a few rules. In order to grow a hybrid you need:

choose the right soil; you can get advice on this at any flower shop;
provide a comfortable environment for the plant (in the warm season, take it out into the fresh air, provide the necessary temperature and humidity conditions);
Fertilize the plant regularly (a mineral mixture of fertilizers is used to feed it).

Orange hybrids must be replanted once a year for the first three years of the plant's life. Then he should be left alone. The maximum you can resort to is a delicate transplant of the plant every five years into a new pot, which is 10-15 centimeters in diameter larger than the previous one.

Watering

The characteristic watering system of the plant also has its own peculiarity. IN winter period During this time, the hybrid needs to be watered a couple of times a week, but with the onset of spring, the plant can be watered every other day.

Meyer Lemons Need Regular Watering

In summer it is recommended to water every day, but it is very important not to overwater the plant. Don’t forget about spraying the foliage. The regularity of this procedure will help prevent the appearance of scale insects and aphids. The correct watering system has a beneficial effect on the taste of fruits.

The rules for the care, watering and conditions of keeping the Meira hybrid are not that complicated, and the reward is truly wonderful. You can grow an unusual fruit with your own hands.

The fruits of a tangerine crossed with an orange certainly cannot be called exotic. Almost any orange hybrid is distinguished not only by its high taste characteristics, but also brings great benefit to your body. That is why it is worth including this fruit in your diet. But don't limit yourself to just oranges and tangerines. There are many more varieties in this category than you might imagine. So it’s worth expanding your knowledge about such exotic fruits.

What is this unfamiliar name? It's quite simple: a clementine is a tangerine crossed with an orange. In 1902, the French priest Clement was able to successfully breed a new variety of mandarin. That is, in terms of external characteristics, it was still a tangerine, which can be easily peeled. But its flesh became much sweeter.

It is noteworthy that clementine is common fruit specifically in the Mediterranean. It is grown almost everywhere there. It is also exported to European countries. What is remarkable about such a fruit besides its taste characteristics, and what is it recommended to use it for? A hybrid of orange and tangerine holds up well low temperatures, keeps well and for a long time. But what is most important is that it contains a large number of vitamins A and C.

Such fruits are sold mainly in their pure form. However, sometimes in European supermarkets you can see clementines with two leaves that are not cut from the base of the fruit. Is this fruit used in cooking? Of course, and quite widely. A marinade is often prepared from it, and various liqueurs and brandy are also infused on it. It is not so easy to grow such an orange at home; usually the fruits of this hybrid are bought in stores.

Types of hybrid

This fruit includes several varieties. Which of them are considered the most popular, and how do they differ from each other? It’s worth finding out more about this. The hybrid of tangerine and orange is divided into the following several types:

Spanish. The fruits of this variety can be both small and quite large. Each specimen contains several seeds;
Montreal. This type of clementine is the most rare. It is mostly grown in Spain and Algeria. Each fruit, as a rule, can contain about 12 seeds-grains;
Corsican. What is different about this variety of clementine? First of all, the color of the peel is orange-red. A noticeable advantage of this species is that it has no seeds.

Amazing aroma and unusual taste the fruits of this hybrid, no matter what variety, will appeal to all lovers of exotic fruits. But this is not all the advantages of the species. Few people know that clementine is called an effective antidepressant. It’s worth stocking up on this “cure” for nerves. Plus, don’t worry that the fruit will spoil quickly. You can store it for a long time. To do this, simply put it in the refrigerator drawer - and it will not lose its taste properties another whole month.

Beneficial features

Many have heard and know the name of the hybrid of orange and tangerine. But could you imagine how many vitamins are contained in one such fruit? Meanwhile, there is something to pay attention to. The fruit contains a large amount of water, fiber, fat, and protein. Additional nutritional elements also include copper, ascorbic acid, titanium, etc. It is also important that clementine contains a small amount of sugar. Moreover, this does not affect the sweetness in any way.

So that you can more clearly understand the range of benefits of this fruit, it is worth highlighting for what health problems experts recommend eating clementine:

in case of malfunctions of the gastrointestinal tract;
for the treatment of colds;
as a prevention of influenza and other viral infections;
to activate metabolism;
for insomnia and constant stress;

for various skin problems - cellulite, warts, stretch marks.

In general, for those who want to add beauty and healthy looking For your skin, eating tangerine, which has been crossed with orange, is simply necessary.

Other citrus hybrids

Breeders at one time crossed many exotic fruits with each other. Each of them has improved taste and appearance characteristics, some of these plants can even be grown in room conditions. Among the most notable specimens, the following fruits are worth highlighting:

Tangerine is a tangerine with sweet orange flesh. Its skin is quite thin and easy to peel;
Mineola is a hybrid obtained by crossing tangerine with grapefruit. The taste of this fruit is sweet and sour. It is mainly grown in Israel and the USA;
limandrine (limonium). This variety of exotic fruit appeared thanks to the combination of the species characteristics of tangerines and lemons. The peel of this fruit resembles a tangerine, but the taste is dominated by sourness, and this is already a characteristic feature of lemon. It is quite difficult to eat such a fruit in its pure form, but in China, for example, it is considered very popular;

Most of us eat hybrid fruits without even realizing it. And although many people believe that such food is not as tasty as regular varieties, they are very popular among people.There was a time when a certain fruit was only available at one time in the markets. Now, in grocery stores you will find not only seasonal fruits, but also some types that are not seasonal. Some of these fruits may have come from elsewhere, but more often you'll see locally grown fruits. These fruits are hybrids. These fruits are developed by crossing two or more similar varieties within the same species or genus. As a result, the crossed plant receives the properties of both parents.

Hybridization is nothing new, it's even happening naturally so that new fruits appear. Artificial hybridization is done to increase crop yields, improve nutritional properties and getting rid of some pests.

The disadvantage of these fruits is that they may not have the taste and original aroma. Another disadvantage is that once you plant the seeds of these plants, they will not always grow into the same plants as the hybrid parent plant.

Hybrids are not genetically modified fruits. Genetically modified fruits incorporate a gene from another fruit or even an animal. For example, an animal gene was introduced into tomatoes; this gene blocks the synthesis of the enzyme responsible for the ripening of fruits.
