New Zealand grapefruit

The New Zealand grapefruit, otherwise known as the poorman's orange, poor man's orange, or goldfruit[1] is a type of citrus fruit grown in New Zealand. Despite its name it's not botanically a true grapefruit, but believed to be a hybrid between a pomelo and either a mandarin or tangelo.

Origin

The New Zealand grapefruit originates from East Asia[2] as a naturally occurring wild species. It was introduced into New Zealand from Australia around 1855 by Sir George Grey.[2]
