Persian Limes

Why are our Persian limes orange and seedy inside? The 5′ tree was recently planted and was covered in fruit. Much of it was over ripe (yellow/orange skins), but when we cut into several smaller green ones, they were also orange inside. Should we pull all the fruit off and wait for a new crop (new blossoms) or do we have a weird tree?

Persian Limes can actually be quite yellow when they are ripe.
With that said, I think you may actually have a Mandarin Lime tree.
