About
The sweet orange is a common citrus hybrid that grows to roughly the size of a standard baseball.
This fruit is a natural hybrid of the pomelo and the mandarin. In size, it sits directly between its two ancestors, growing larger than most mandarins but much smaller than a heavy pomelo. Depending on the tree variety and growing conditions, mature sweet oranges typically range from 2.5 to 3.5 inches (6.4 to 8.9 cm) in diameter.
From Wikipedia
