sour fruit
Citrus, perhaps unripe
Sour fruit refers to fruit with a tart, acidic taste rather than sweet—lemons, limes, green apples, unripe berries.
The phrase sometimes appears figuratively for disappointing results or unpleasant outcomes: All that work, and nothing but sour fruit to show for it.
