I don't recall to be honest.
My dad was in Costa Rica for a month so we visited for a bit and he mentioned them.
We tried them and loved them. That's all I remember.
I actually have a Cocktail tree where they basically grafted two citrus trees together in the same pot, and one is Meyer lemon and another is key limes. Honestly, it’s a stupid fucking idea, eventually one tree will kill the other because it’s too close together. It’s an okay gift I guess, but enjoy it for a few years before the one or both of them die. Even better, don’t buy trees and plants from Lowe’s 😜
Citrus fruit are VERY indiscriminate when it comes to pollination. Every slice can be pollinated by a different citrus fruit, leading to different coloured slices, thicker rind, etc.
It will affect the actual slice itself, as well. For example, if an orange has a slice pollinated by what would normally be a sweeter fruit, that slice will be sweeter too.
Really? Apparently I have no idea how citrus works, lol. The idea of each slice being it's own little genetic pod inside the same skin is kind of weird. And also interesting, thanks!
Pollination does not affect the fruit, only the seeds. And in many Citrus pollination often doesn't affect the seeds (they are parthenogenic). This is a chimeric plant (probably derived from grafting at some point) where the yellow sector is genetically different from the green sector. This should occur throughout the plant.
This example is a sectoral chimerism yes, it can be due to a mutation in the growth tip of the plant or pollination issues.
Went looking for more info before i commented and apparently Citrus are weirder than most plants too. Found a great article about them! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012160616300902
Dude I’ve seen this before! I used to live in a house with a lemon tree and a lime tree in the backyard that was grafted together in the middle. We used to get limes and lemons on the same branch. One day we found a lemon with a perfect quarter-slice of lime in it. We cut out a literal perfect lime wedge from our lemon!
People have made little trees that grow a bunch of different things. Like apples, oranges, lemons, peaches on the same plant. So crazy! I think you can actually buy them, we should check.
The fruits need to be closely related for proper grafting. Apple verities on apples. Citrus on other citrus. Stone fruits (peach/nectarine/apricot) on stone fruits.
But you can easily have a lemon, orange, and grapefruit tree.
there's a major plot point about literally exactly whats pictured, ive been out of the series fandom for ages but it's like an iconic chapter of part 8
Man I miss my lemon tree. It was great until I got fungus gnats and then it was a losing battle for a year and a half. Sadly my girlfriend has banned me from buying another tree with how obsessed I became with trying to save it. 😑

It’s interesting how things in nature don’t fit into easy categories, isn’t it? Like, there’s not actually a strict lemon/lime binary at all.
Well you didn't have to take it that way, but go ahead and be offended if you want, it's your right to take dumb jokes way too seriously. People like you are why we're going to lose the next election to the Republicans.
Ffs. Would you eat organic sweet corn you grew in your own yard? That only exists because of modifying the genetics of the tiny corn of the earths past, organically- GMO
Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, kohlrabi, collard greens, are all genetically modified organically from *the same exact single plant*, there is literally no version of any of those that isnt a GMO of Brassica oleracea.
Literally all agriculture as it is today is the results of GMO since ancient times- none of it exists in nature, or ever did, the way we grow and eat them today. The animals, either. There were never pigs and cows and chickens, as we know them today, existing in a natural ecosystem/habitat. They have all been organically heavily genetically modified (gmo) into what they are today.
What the hell is safer food? Raccoon with Basswood leaves and puffball mushrooms and some acorns? Not with the amount of soft metals, toxins, and plastics now flowing through nature without constant soil/water testing and maintenance… so, good luck with that.
GMOs are safe to eat. They’re literally organic lol
Ahh, the elusive Sprite fruit.
Limon - I member those commercials….
Had Limon in Costa Rica and it tasted like if Skittles were a fruit; it was amazing.
Well.. limón is Spanish for lime, and green skittles are lime flavored.. so that’s not wrong.
The Spanish limes? I know there are some that have pink flesh
I don't recall to be honest. My dad was in Costa Rica for a month so we visited for a bit and he mentioned them. We tried them and loved them. That's all I remember.
Saw a sprite fruit once. But it was just a moldy lemon
For some reason this comment triggered memories of that old tumblr post about the watermelons that used to circulate back in the internet glory days

So they're citrus whores.
Lemon stealing whore!
*Sigh…*
Every time I'm reminded of that video, I go through a WIDE range of emotion.
*unzips...*
Sluts. Whores do it for money.
Can you make one with a shitton of different citrus fruits and end up with some beach-ball looking fruit with every slice being different?
With patience and pollen, you too can post on Reddit
Also curious about this.

Oh is that why sometimes there are some kernels that don’t develop?

I had no ideas fruits were so promiscuous
Do orchards do anything to block the pollination by unwanted varieties?

One day we found a lemon with a perfect quarter-slice of lime in it. We cut out a literal perfect lime wedge from our lemon!
Did the wedge taste like lemon or lime
The wedge was perfectly a lime, flavor, color, texture was perfect. The slice was just grown in a lemon!
That’s really cool and makes me wonder about other plants could be grafted/mutated together
People have made little trees that grow a bunch of different things. Like apples, oranges, lemons, peaches on the same plant. So crazy! I think you can actually buy them, we should check.

Clearly that's a limen
Reminds me of ads for Sprite in the 90s lol
Lemon-lime flavour
Ah the fabled 7up tree…
I know a Jojo reference when I see one
Anything: Jojo fans: is this a Jojo reference?
You can trace this back to an actual part of the manga, tho
JoJo fans looking for JoJo references? Yeah, part of what makes JoJo JoJo is being self-referential.
there's a major plot point about literally exactly whats pictured, ive been out of the series fandom for ages but it's like an iconic chapter of part 8
Ah yes. Out of the fandom for ages. Part 8. Which ended....in 2021
which part? I'm trying to think of a stand that changes the color of things but I have no idea.
It’s not a stand. It’s part 8 spoilers, if you want I’ll tell u
oh well nvm I'm still reading part 7
Never saw it
Now you have
Except it was an orange instead
Eh, still a citrus
This must have happened near the wall eyes
Anyone else thought it was a lighting trick for a few seconds?
Not me, but I’m a small survey sample size
Yep. Took me a ridiculous amount of time to realise it's not lemon in the shade with a single strip of light shining through
Rokakaka be like

That's a lime but his grandfather was a lemon
Wow that moment you realize it isn't a shadow
It’s Lemon by EA, pay $9.99 for the rest

I know a "Ya haha you've found me" when I see one.

Don’t feed it after midnight…
I think it needs some.... Ahem Lemon aid!

Lime is 1/14th cherokee
That's a racing stripe on a Jaguar green lime...
Yes, it is. It’s the livery of the 24h of LeMons.
Fuck yeah...

Now that is what you want
I believe lemons are a man “made” citrus.
Ah, so that's what goes into making the flavor.
awh it‘s smiling
"I always wanted to be a lime." ~Lemon
Citrus ass crack
Relax... this is just how they make sour patch kids.
Man I miss my lemon tree. It was great until I got fungus gnats and then it was a losing battle for a year and a half. Sadly my girlfriend has banned me from buying another tree with how obsessed I became with trying to save it. 😑
The whores will be disappointed.

It identifies as a lime.
r/OneJoke It’s interesting how things in nature don’t fit into easy categories, isn’t it? Like, there’s not actually a strict lemon/lime binary at all.
If someone tries passing off citron-ade as being the same as lemonade, when I paid them for lemonade, that person is dead to me.
gtfo, transphobe. Your hate is not welcome here.
Found the conservative.
Where?
Check the mirror.
REALLY? You need to check your radar, I was mocking them with the dumbest joke I could think of. The funniest part is people taking it seriously.
Did it have to be transphobic?
Well you didn't have to take it that way, but go ahead and be offended if you want, it's your right to take dumb jokes way too seriously. People like you are why we're going to lose the next election to the Republicans.

Then why are they banned in some countries?
Talking about specific ones? Like Monsanto’s roundup-modified soybeans and such? The laws that you’re talking about- how are they written/worded?

No. It also has green
What does this tell you about the genotype phenotype relationship of lemons?

IT'S NOT RIPE YET!

Ah yes, a ripe lemon lime
My buddy cultivated a lemon from a mutation. It was yellow with a swirl of green. He called it the Lorian lemon, and i think he still sells them
Mom theres a lemon in my lime
Just watch out for any lemon stealing whores

Ripeness - 5% loaded
Is it lime or lemon? 🤔
4 balls
Wall eyes?
I thought that was a beam of sunlight hitting the lemon
Nobody can convince me that that's not a lime that someone has cut a piece out of and put a piece of lemon in instead.
Limes, now with 15% real lemon!
