The fruit was created as a cross between a non-pure mandarin orange and a hybrid pomelo that had a substantial mandarin component. [13] [14] Since its chloroplast DNA is that of pomelo, it was likely the hybrid pomelo, perhaps a pomelo BC1 backcross, that was the maternal parent of the first orange.
