Yuzuquat
A ''yuzuquat'' is a trigeneric hybrid between a Yuzu lemon (''Citrus ichangensis'' x ''C. reticulata'') and 'Nagami' kumquat (''C. japonica'' 'Nagami'). It was developed by John Brown in Texas. The fruit often is used as a lemon The lemon (''Citrus'' × ''limon'') is a species of small evergreen tree in the ''Citrus'' genus of the flowering plant family Rutaceae.

Kumquats
Kumquats ( ), or cumquats in Australian English, are a group of small, angiosperm, fruit-bearing trees in the family Rutaceae. Their taxonomy is disputed. They were previously classified as forming the now-historical genus ''Fortunella'' or placed within ''Citrus'', . Different classifications have alternatively assigned them to anywhere from a single species, '' Citrus japonica'', to numerous species representing each cultivar. Recent genomic analysis defines three pure species, '' Citrus hindsii'', '' C. margarita'' and '' C. crassifolia'', with ''C.'' × ''japonica'' being a hybrid of the last two. The edible fruit closely resembles the orange (''Citrus x sinensis'') in color, texture, and anatomy, but is much smaller, being approximately the size of a large olive. The kumquat is a fairly cold-hardy citrus. Etymology The English word ''kumquat'' is a borrowing of the Cantonese (; zh, c=金橘), from "golden" + "orange".

Hybrid (biology)
In biology, a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different varieties, subspecies, species or genera through sexual reproduction. Generally, it means that each cell has genetic material from two different organisms, whereas an individual where some cells are derived from a different organism is called a chimera. Hybrids are not always intermediates between their parents such as in blending inheritance (a now discredited theory in modern genetics by particulate inheritance), but can show hybrid vigor, sometimes growing larger or taller than either parent. The concept of a hybrid is interpreted differently in animal and plant breeding, where there is interest in the individual parentage. In genetics, attention is focused on the numbers of chromosomes. In taxonomy, a key question is how closely related the parent species are. Species are reproductively isolated by strong barriers to hybridization, which include genetic and morph ...

Yuzu
Yuzu (''Citrus'' × ''junos'', from Japanese language, Japanese or ; ) is a citrus fruit and plant in the family Rutaceae of China, Chinese origin. Yuzu has been cultivated mainly in East Asia, though it has also recently been grown in New Zealand, Australia, Spain, Italy, and France. It is believed to have originated in central China as an F1 hybrid of the ( zh, t=莽山野橘) subspecies of mandarin orange and the ichang papeda. and Supplement Description This fruit resembles a yellow clementine with uneven skin and can be either yellow or green depending on the degree of ripeness. ''Yuzu'' fruits, which are very aromatic, typically range between in diameter but can be as large as a regular grapefruit (up to , or larger). Yuzu forms an upright shrub or small tree, which commonly has many large thorns. Leaves are notable for a large, leaf-like Petiole (botany), petiole, resembling those of the related makrut lime and ichang Papeda (citrus), papeda, and are heavily sce ...

Lemon
The lemon (''Citrus'' × ''limon'') is a species of small evergreen tree in the ''Citrus'' genus of the flowering plant family Rutaceae. A true lemon is a hybrid of the citron and the bitter orange. Its origins are uncertain, but some evidence suggests lemons originated during the 1st millennium BC in what is now northeastern India. Some other citrus fruits are called ''lemon''. The yellow fruit of the lemon tree is used throughout the world, primarily for its juice. The pulp and rind are used in cooking and baking. The juice of the lemon is about 5–6% citric acid, giving it a sour taste. This makes it a key ingredient in drinks and foods such as lemonade and lemon meringue pie. In 2022, world production was 22 million tonnes, led by India with 18% of the total. Description The lemon tree produces a pointed oval yellow fruit. Botanically this is a hesperidium, a modified berry with a tough, leathery rind. The rind is divided into an outer colored layer or ...
