    What I thought was a tangerine tree, turned out to be something totally different..and I have no idea what this fruit is!
    It's definitely a citrus, based on the look and the smell of the leaves, blossoms and fruit..
    but the fruit is a tiny smooth orange colored ball, about 1 cm in diameter.
    I really would like to know what this is!
    HELP!

    We live in the Bay Area, but I don't think this is a native plant!
    The tree is about as tall as our house.

    Hope this helps!
