Hybrid fruits are created through the controlled speciation of fruits that creates new varieties and cross-breeds. Hybrids are grown using plant propagation to create new cultivars . This may introduce an entirely new type of fruit or improve the properties of an existing fruit.
Citrus bergamia, the bergamot orange, is a fragrant citrus fruit the size of an orange, with a yellow or green colour similar to a lime, depending on ripeness. Genetic research into the ancestral origins of extant citrus cultivars found bergamot orange to be a probable hybrid of lemon and bitter orange. Citron: Citrus medica
English: Diagram showing generation of spontaneous and engineered Citrus hybrids arising from pure founder species: examples selected from analogous chart in Curk et al, 2016, with addition from Swingle's original limequat report. Colors, shapes and relative sizes approximated from arbitrary selection of available images of species.
The original lemon was a hybrid between a male citron and a female sour orange, itself a pomelo/pure-mandarin hybrid; citrons contribute half of the genome, while the other half is divided between pomelo and mandarin. [7] [62] There are other hybrids also known as 'lemons'.

Floyd Zaiger created the aprium, a hybrid cross between apricots and plums but more similar to apricots. [9] Apriums are complex plum-apricot hybrids that show primarily apricot traits and flavor. [2] Apriums resemble apricots on the outside. The flesh is usually dense and notable for its sweet taste due to a high content of fructose and other ...
Groups are then named using a combination of the letters "A" and "B". The number of letters shows the ploidy; the proportion of As and Bs the contributions of the ancestral species. The AAB Group, for example, comprises triploid cultivars with more genetic inheritance from M. acuminata than M. balbisiana. A character score of around 35 is ...
The loganberry fruits earlier than its blackberry parent. Fruit is produced for about two months, generally from midsummer until mid-autumn, with a plant at a given time mid-season bearing fruit in different stages, from blossom to maturity. The berries are generally harvested when they are a deep purple color, rather than red.
