Real fact behind the name of Orange Fruit



Have you ever wondered whether the fruit orange was named after the color orange or was it the other way around? The word orange comes from the Spanish word ‘naranja’. ‘naranja’ is derived from the Sanskrit word nāraṅga which means ‘orange
tree’. This particular word changed when it came to the English language over time and became orange. Around the sixteenth century, this particular word not only referred to the fruit but also to the color. So there you have it, the color was named after the fruit itself.

Fruit salad tree


There is a tree which
can grow up to 7
different fruits on it..!!
It is called fruit salad
tree..!!
Fruit salad tree sprouts
as many as seven
varieties of fruit in one
tree. The combinations
aren’t quite as diverse
as bountiful fruit bowls
— apples and peaches,
for example, can’t mix.
But the trees combine
several members of
fruit families into one.
A citrus version grows
oranges, mandarins,
lemons, limes, tangelos,
lemonades (a rounded
fruit that’s sweet like
lemonade) and
grapefruit. A stone fruit
tree yields peaches,
apricots, plums,
nectarines, peachcots (a
cross between peaches
and apricots) and
peacherines. The trees
can be planted outside
in small back yards
(depending on their
climate requirements),
or kept in a pot. Most
are self-pollinating so no
partner trees or
pollinating bees are
needed.
