Such as (made up example, idk if it’s real) you may be able to cross bread oranges and lemons, and get something you can plant and grow.

Exactly the same way – natural evolution. Where things get complicated is humans … *encouraging* evolution by selecting specific plants and selectively breeding them. Google for ‘Hybrid Citrus’, you`ll be surprised at what fruits humans have created.
Cross-breeding or selective breeding in this way only needs the species to be genetically close enough. You can`t cross an apple and a tomato, but a great example of where you can are dogs – they can all interbreed so it is possible to cross a bulldog with a shi-tzu and end up with a bullshit. Actually true, though they’re really called bull-tzu, which is far less fun.
