What is this fruit?
 

Tree in the backyard, feels like a lemon skin. Not much smell and doesn't look ripe, yet. :confused:

When I am drowning, I reach for a lime..

I think its a grapefruit of some type. My folks have a tree like it at their house. They and their neighbor seem to eat them sometimes. I can't stand it.

Skin looks to thick for a lime.

Looks more like a Pomelo.

Looks like an unripe lime to me. Do you have photo of the tree?

An unripe lemon.

Banana

Pomelo?

snow tires

Cargo fruit?
2 empty 'alves of coconuts?

Pull a leaf from the tree , shred it and sniff the smell .
May give you an idea of the fruit variety .

I agree with pomelo aka jabong. Too bad it isn't the pink one as those are especially tasty.

Hey, let's keep it citrus in this thread.

No need for inflammatory language like bananas and snow tires.

There's a house in my neighborhood that grows fruit that looks like that except that the fruit is huge, at least as big as a cantaloupe nearly as big as a basketball.

It is a Meyers Lemon.......Citrus × meyeri, the Meyer lemon, is a citrus fruit native to China thought to be a cross between a true lemon and either a mandarin or common orange.

It was introduced to the United States in 1908 as S.P.I. #23028[1] by the agricultural explorer Frank Nicholas Meyer, an employee of the United States Department of Agriculture who collected a sample of the plant on a trip to China.[2]

The Meyer lemon is commonly grown in China in garden pots as an ornamental tree. It became popular as a food item in the United States after being rediscovered by chefs such as Alice Waters at Chez Panisse during the California Cuisine revolution at the end of the 1990s.[3][4] Popularity further climbed when Martha Stewart began featuring them in her recipes.[2]

It is certainly not a Meyers lemon. I have 10 Meyers trees. It's not a lime either…I that 7 lime trees in two verities. Not even close.

99.9% sure its a pomelo.

Pomelos...

If life gives you pomelos, can you still make lemonaide? ;)

Since I'd never heard of pomelos before this thread (PPOT is so educational/informative!), I'd have said lime. I'd still toss it in a beer and see how it tastes...

Oh, and my first thought when reading the OP, was "How has this dude never seen a lime before?!?!"

Yup, looks like a Pomelo, Thanks.
