Hybrid speciation of citruses never ceases to amaze me. Great video as always Jared! On a tangentially related note, I think the story of the red grapefruit is pretty insane. It was created using atomic gardening back in the 50s. The whole idea was that they'd blast plant seeds with radiation and see what fun mutations would arrise. Lo and behold one of those mutations was the red grapefruit.
@@gatomaru actually it is (somewhat) true. A red grapefruit was found growing on a pink variety naturally and the desire for a red strain led to the use of atomic gardening to induce mutations which eventually produced an all red grapefruit strain.

You should try some more interesting squash/melon varieties. Ones I'd love to see are: Buttercup squash Tahitian melon squash Kiku chrysanthemum melon Piepan squash
Well, no, biologically far worse is the history of Roses, especially that one of the 20th Century - inzest everywhere, only a few breeders tried really new ways. 🙂
I picked up this fruit tree from a local nursury 20 years ago and its a dwarf cocktail grapefruit which was explained to me as a cross between grapefruit and orange and after listening to you MR WEIRD EXPLORER it all makes sense. The fruit that i get is large and juicier than anything I have seen but the large amount of seeds per fruit [70] I use my Sunkist Heavy duty juicer that spins at 1750 rpm which I might add is very dangerous but effective to juice citrus. They look mostly yellow with streaks of green on outside and the inside looks like a orange but tastes rreal good. The juice is awesome and would be really great commercially. thank you for the post
Jared, have you ever had the Honey Pomelo variety? I've seen it in asian grocery stores, usually the rind is light green in colour, and does taste surprisingly as its named.
This was the strain that did the best in my citrus to Mars experiment. I have grafted it to many other trees too. Great leaves dark green tone. I get 4" fruits x4 on a 4 foot tree.
I do chew on orange rinds occasionally - the aroma is incredible. Goes well with chocolate. I'm usually sensitive to bitter, but the pith isn't too bad.
Man, I love citrus fruits! It's so cool how you can combine them and get all sorts of interesting and delicious new varieties. Makes me wonder if there are any buddhas hand hybrids out there... I love the shape of those! Also the genealogy of fruit is so fun to explore, I recently went down a wikipedia rabbit hole on how plums and their varieties came to be. Never would have guessed they stem from sloes!
If you ever go to hong kong, look around in the jungle for Lime trees, especially around the dams. Theyre these tiny little ping pong ball sized limes that are EXTREMELY strong and limey, really delicious. Dunno what variety they are or if theyre a wild species, but we didnt see them in markets anywhere. We collected some and took back 5 in a little baggie, used them in drinks.
I was looking for that too, uncertain which one he was talking about, but these three are all the same idea and the first two have thumbnails with the text “citrus sex” in them: ua-cam.com/video/GgZ6H5yvp-k/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/vvo875fs4Ls/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/8kIMrdrTBs8/v-deo.html hope you don’t mind my responding. I had watched them before but when I searched today I only found the anime “Citrus” so I thought the links might help
I am starting a citrus catalogue of all the citrus I have tried. I have a little notebook full of the stickers. I also will come out with a video of all my citrus trees I own someday.
Only from the thumbnail. If you look closer it has thicker skin and it's bigger. Dalandan are usually smaller and the skin is easy to peel. This one has skin like that of pomelo but very thin for a pomelo. Dalandan has more orange-y inside too. This one has the color of calamansi instead, more yellowy. Now I'm craving for dalandan. How many years has it been since I had one...ugh.
I love this and your citrus sex videos! I remember only a few years ago I first learned that most commercial citrus fruit is hybridized, and my mind was blown. Prior to that I simply presumed oranges, grapefruits, and lemons were naturally occurring.
Intense fruit to eat out of hand....are we talking about the same fruit? Only problem I get with grapefruit is cleaning from the tiny seeds. And cleaning the peel and the skin on the carpels that is also hard...
I'd consider that citrus pedigree/genetics, not as catchy though. Citrus sex is boring unless you...um, like flowers and pollinators. And now I want a mandelo.
When a Man-darin and A Woman-darin love each other very much...

The Mandelo Effect would be a great name for a hot sauce!
That would be a great "mandela effect" name for the mandela effect itself.
Yes it would, Dang it.
Or a ketchup, will it ketchup? Citrus ketchup? Hmm?

I sometimes mention that story when I run across somebody with an irrational fear of GMOs.
sadly it's not true, even though an awesome story. a quick google search proved it :/

I picked one up from SkyMall in Queens, NY. It was amazing. Going to pick up some more.
I've had a super sweet pommelo. We call them shaddock in the Caribbean.
ayee, over 1000 views in two hours, proud of you man! been here since the very beginning.
So if somebody were to create a hybrid of a Strawberry and a Mandelo, would that be a...
...Berry-Mandelo?
Yeah, I'm out.
I could of sworn that Barry Manilow spelled his name that way. Must be a...
Mandelo effect.
Strawmandelo
That was a close one! I anticipated 'Manberrie'.
@@stanervin6108 hahaha., they come in bunches of 2.

Yup. Full of seeds, too!
Hello Jared.
The citrus hybrid theme is always very interesting.
And it also makes a big difference where the male and the fenale part is situated.
You should try some more interesting squash/melon varieties. Ones I'd love to see are:
Buttercup squash
Tahitian melon squash
Kiku chrysanthemum melon
Piepan squash
I want some rind for use as Olleosacchrum. Make some margarita's with it. Yummm.
i bought one from, one green world with a fruit attached, when it ripen i was amazed how sweet it was .
Just love your work man 💚💚
The lineage of citrus fruits reads like the geneology of the House of Habsburg

to add to this what would a tree be if I grew it from seed?
Wow my 4 foot trees are low seed count, all in the breeding I guess.
Jared, have you ever had the Honey Pomelo variety? I've seen it in asian grocery stores, usually the rind is light green in colour, and does taste surprisingly as its named.
I’m looking into unique perfumery notes and wanted to learn more about different types of grapefruit thanks now I know what a cocktail grapefruit is
This was the strain that did the best in my citrus to Mars experiment. I have grafted it to many other trees too. Great leaves dark green tone. I get 4" fruits x4 on a 4 foot tree.
Wow, it’s great you did a review on this fruit. I have about 10 trees of this fruit.

Should have planted the seeds, sell your own lines since they're a rare species, would make decent money.
I love these slightly educational videos! This was excellent!
I love these. The local supermarkets get them during part of the year.
"I'M LEARNING ABOUT CITRUS SEX!"
No one asked me to say that aloud. But they needed to know.
Green fruit is beautiful
if u want to also try the zest of citrus u could zest it and mix it with a little sugar and salt to taste:o
Too many citrus fruits to understand... It boggles the mind. I could've sworn that there was a limit to it, but it's insane.
Great episode. I'll check my local stores for that citrus.

Yes, a bit sad, but he forgot about linking it, I guess.
Nice vid. It would also be very useful if you had a refractometer for a more objective sweetness descriptions.
How does it compare to the oroblanco?
I love rare citrus. They always taste just a bit better
MANDAlo? 😯 haha. i love grapefruit but not oranges so i'm curious. but i will never find one around here. interesting tho 👍🏻
Happy birthday ;)
You try to visit Edgar Valdivia he make a lot dragon fruit hybrids and a hybrid citrus and other experimental fruit plants . He lives in California
Wow, really interesting. 👍

yea this is awesome!
I learn something today!!!!! 👏👏
This looks like something we call “dalandan” in the Philippines.
dalandan is the same as an orange I believe. In the Philippines and much of SE Asia the orange varieties availableare green on the outside.
Only from the thumbnail. If you look closer it has thicker skin and it's bigger. Dalandan are usually smaller and the skin is easy to peel. This one has skin like that of pomelo but very thin for a pomelo. Dalandan has more orange-y inside too. This one has the color of calamansi instead, more yellowy.
Now I'm craving for dalandan. How many years has it been since I had one...ugh.
I know this one as a Sweetie
I've tried it.. test good
Delicious fruit, only downfall is they can get super seedy.
Seeds are good, no seed fruits taste bland and like sugar water.
I really think so
Nice!
Thanks!

HASKAP JAM, do you have a PO Box?
this was a great eppisode, but when explaining the sex of citrus you need music, i suggest monty python and the holy grail, or brady bunch.
Plz answer this what is the sweetest citrus you can think of
Intense fruit to eat out of hand....are we talking about the same fruit? Only problem I get with grapefruit is cleaning from the tiny seeds.
And cleaning the peel and the skin on the carpels that is also hard...
What do you mean it's a little more complicated than a basic hybrid?
Specific cultivars are used to get this result
I eat orange rind all the time, taste grows on you.
i think we call it baby citrus here in indonesia
Looks like the jafa brand from Israel
This might be off topic but I found canned egg fruit......... at an African market
In india its called a mausambi
I have a simillar plant a vietnamese orange but it taste 100% like pomelo
Im not a fan of bitter sweet fruit.
I have a mandarin, I have a sweet orange *UUUH* SWEET MANDAORANGEARIN
I would buy those fresh seeds from you
I'd consider that citrus pedigree/genetics, not as catchy though. Citrus sex is boring unless you...um, like flowers and pollinators. And now I want a mandelo.
This is a lot of DBZ fusion all for some fruit.
A true finger lime is not a hybrid. Blood limes & sunrise limes, which come from them are, but true finger limes are not.
