It starts as orange and go to yellow when ripened. It has a sour taste just like lime. Inside its more orangey it color...It's called "Dayap" here in my area...its like a local lime here in my area...

That is a fabulous tree. What is the inside of the fruit color when mature? Lime or Lemon or grapefruit perhaps? Small oranges start green but go to orange on the outside. Limes stay green on the outside and inside. Lemons are yellow/clear on the inside and start green and go to yellow on the outside.
Looks a little small for a grapefruit. They are softball sized usually when mature.
