Nice looking fruit. How would you describe the taste?

Do you know why someone would cross a lemon with an orange, is there any advantage to this hybrid?

Meyer is only 3/4 lemon 1/8 grapefruit 1/8 tangerine. I  can eat a meyer lemon straight. It's a bit bitter but not overwhelming. Nothing like a real lemon that's so sour you can't eat it. But it does have a nice lemon smell and taste. You get kind of a hint of grapefruit taste and maybe a hint of a hint barely perceptible tangerine in a really good way. They will also get a little bit of orange hue when ripe.

Meanwhile the tree is much more cold hardy than a lemon. Resembles a tangelo in cold hardiness which tangelos are pretty good cold wise (tangelo being a tangerine grapefruit cross). Crossed with an orange id imagine a little bitterness but should be good to eat.

Ok, thnaks 1rainman for the detials. Then it should be a good to have. The fruit tastes good, I like the outside red streaks in the rind. But here in SoCal, I don't have any luck with blood oranges to turn red inside. All my blood oranges don't show any flesh color but orange.

Do you know if the variety will come true from seed?

tastes like a lemon with a small hint of orange.
advantage is the anthocyanins which are red, plus you can make a red lemonade or different cocktails

what would cause the flesh to not have the red color?
I have seen the fruit with nice coloration on the outside but normal orange colored flesh.

I think they need to be the right temperature and need cool.tempd to darken. Blood oranges don't come out right in Florida typically.

Someone on here said their meyer lemon seeds all came out different. Some were orange colored but sour etc. Would be interesting seeds to have. I sent a pm but got no response.

Speaking of Meyer lemon, I wanted to see if there were different tasting one people had in their garden, so I got three lemons from people's trees to see if the fruit was any different. Turns out the ones here in SoCal is about the same size, same brix, tastes identical so nothing special. But the Improved Meyer is better since the fruit is much larger and has little seeds. I decided to forget about growing out any of the Meyer lemon seeds, have enough seedlings of all my other varieties going now.

I had the improved meyer. There was only maybe three or four seeds in a fruit maybe less. They turn yellow and appear ripe and seem like a sweet lemon. But some of them when left on the tree further get a slight orange hue and that's when a little of the tangelo flavor comes out.

1rainman, if you can't get the seeds from original poster then send me a message. I may have 1-2 seeds I can send you but will cost you $10.20 for priority mail box I use. Assuming it is ok to send seeds into your state.

Anybody have the erenolemon? It's a meyer lemon x Australian desert lime/kumquat. It has extremely high hlb resistance and high salt tolerance, cold tolerance etc. Fruit is yellow lemon like of good quality. It is used as a root stock mainly though and grows true to seed.

It wasn't me but I did grow some Myer seed. Seedlings were fairly variable, mostly looking like Limes and Citrons or a combo. A couple have flowered, one has very dark purple growth tips. Not all survived.

The plot thickens. Seems it has lime in it's background.
