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.
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.

All of these hybrids have in turn been bred back with their parent stocks or with other pure or hybrid citrus to form a broad array of fruits. Naming of these is inconsistent, with some bearing a variant of the name of one of the parents or simply another citrus with superficially-similar fruit, a distinct name, or a portmanteau of ancestral ...
Botanical structure of a strawberry, compared to a peapod. The strawberry is a swollen receptacle, covered with many small achenes, the botanical fruits. [8] In culinary terms, a strawberry is an edible fruit. From a botanical point of view, it is not a berry but an aggregate accessory fruit, because the fleshy part is derived from the receptacle.
The tangerine is a type of citrus fruit that is orange in color, that is considered either a variety of Citrus reticulata, the mandarin orange, or a closely related species, under the name Citrus tangerina, [1] [2] [3] or yet as a hybrid (Citrus × tangerina) of mandarin orange varieties, with some pomelo contribution.
A hybrid fruit, called forbidden fruit, was first documented in 1750 (along with 14 other citrus fruits including the guiney orange) by a Welshman, the Rev. Griffith Hughes, in his The Natural History of Barbados. [1] However, Hughes's forbidden fruit may have been a plant distinct from grapefruit although still closely related to it. [34]
