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.

Fragaria × bringhurstii is a naturally occurring hybrid species of wild strawberry native to the West Coast of the United States. [1] The species results from the natural intercrossing of Fragaria vesca and Fragaria chiloensis, native species whose ranges overlap in that region. All strawberries have a base haploid count of 7 chromosomes.
The oroblanco is a triploid citrus hybrid, resulting from a cross between an acidless pomelo (C. grandis Osbeck) [1] and the Marsh grapefruit [2] (C. paradisi Macf.). [1] Its fruit is seedless with pale yellow flesh [3] [4] and is slightly less juicy than other grapefruits, [2] [5] though it does have a juice content of roughly thirty percent. [6]
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.
One story of the fruit's origin is that a 17th-century trader named 'Captain Shaddock' [1] [31] brought pomelo seeds to Jamaica and bred the first fruit, which were then called shaddocks. [32] The grapefruit then probably originated as a naturally occurring hybrid between the two plants some time after they had been introduced there. [1] [2]
