Reasoning for high price factually wrong and pure speculation.

Actually, the high price and rarity is caused by the insanity of a patent on life. Which is of course null and void, or even illegal, in the civilized world, but honored in some of the more extreme neo-fascist industrial feudal states (USA, some EU ones, etc.), even though it’s highly illegitimate and morally unacceptable. — 88.77.141.136 (talk) 17:05, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Sweetie

Currently, our article gives "sweetie" as an alternative name; how-ever, the footnote for that claim (https://goodfruitguide.co.uk/product/sweetie/) in fact differentiates the two, saying they are close (so, no cigar). Lower down, our article derives the NAME sweetie from 'a similar fruit' grown in Israel. Since our article does not give the botanical data on the Israeli fruit, it remains unclear. It looks like the article needs to be changed and a new article made for sweetie (or maybe for two sweeties?). Kdammers (talk) 09:19, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

The oroblanco (Citrus maxima × C. Paradisi) is a sweet seedless citrus hybrid fruit. It was developed as a cross between a diploid acidless pomelo and a seedy white tetraploid grapefruit, resulting in a triploid seedless fruit that is less acidic and less bitter than the grapefruit. The oroblanco was patented by the University of California in 1981 after its development at the university's citrus experiment station by Robert Soost and James W. Cameron. Oroblancos are either round- or oval-shaped with a thicker rind than grapefruit. The fruit is available from September through December and can be peeled and eaten like an orange. A similar fruit named the "sweetie" has been commonly cultivated in Israel since 1984. This photograph shows oroblancos grown in Israel, one whole and one sectioned. The picture was focus-stacked from 12 separate images.
