Answer 2

Citrus, common name for several related evergreen trees and shrubs of the rue family, and generally for the fruits they produce, including the citron, grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange, shaddock (or pomelo), tangerine, and bergamot (a pear-shaped orange). Native to Southeast Asia, the plants are characterized by winglike appendages on the leaf stalks, white or purplish flowers, and fruit (classified scientifically as a kind of berry) with a spongy or leathery rind and a juicy pulp divided in sections. The leaves, flowers, and rind of the fruit abound in volatile oil and emit a sharp fragrance. Many citrus plants have thorny branches.

Most species of citrus cannot withstand frost, and their cultivation is restricted to warm climates. The plants' resistance is increased somewhat, however, by grafting to hardier stock, and semihardy hybrids and varieties have been developed. Many species are now cultivated in all warm climates for their fruit. World production of citrus fruits is increasing. At the beginning of the 21st century it was about 104 million metric tons—an increase of 35 percent since 1990.

Scientific classification: Citrus plants belong to the family Rutaceae. They constitute the genus Citrus.
