Orange Hybrids

Sweet oranges have also given rise to a range of hybrids, notably the grapefruit,
which arose from a sweet orange x pomelo backcross. A spontaneous backcross of the
grapefruit and sweet orange then resulted in the orangelo. Spontaneous and
engineered backcrosses between the sweet orange and mandarin oranges or tangerines
has produced a group collectively known as tangors, which includes the clementine
and Murcott. More complex crosses have also been produced. The so-called Ambersweet
orange is actually a complex sweet orange x (Orlando tangelo x clementine) hybrid,
legally designated a sweet orange in the United States so it can be used in orange
juices.[39][59] The citranges are a group of intergeneric sweet orange x trifoliate
orange hybrids.
