Lemonade fruit (Citrus limon x reticulata), otherwise known as Lemonade lemon, New Zealand lemonade or Unlemon is a variety of sweet lemon citrus fruit, believed to be a hybrid between a mandarin orange and a lemon.
It was first discovered in New Zealand in the 1980s as a chance seedling, and is grown principally in the warmer parts of the country. The lemonade fruit is grown widely in Australia. It is also cultivated in the Central Valley of California and Florida in the United States.
