Lemon I D

Post by Muhammad Arif Khan »

The fruit

Image

Round, smooth skin, 2-3 inch diameter, seed less, very good flavour, fruits in bunches up to six at tip of a branch, very weak main trunk can not support the weight of fruit/foliage, branches droop down to ground level, left un disturbed will form a bush rather than a tree, the branches are thorn less.

Meyer Lemon is a small to medium size orange yellow skinned citrus with a lemon like flesh that is juicy, but considerably less acidic and much sweeter than common lemons.

Ref, http://users.kymp.net/citruspages/lemons.html#limoneiro

It does not fit with any on this page.

The picture and description seems to match with Citrus limettioides. The key thing is an inconspicuous nipple on the fruit.
See this link:
http://www.citrusvariety.ucr.edu/citrus/maryellen.html

"C. limettiodes, is a newly-selected lime originating in Mexico where similar fruits are referred to as “lima dolce.” The mature tree is medium-large with a spreading habit. The flowers are pure white and the new leaves are bright green. The fruits are small, round to slightly oval with a smooth pale green to greenish-yellow rind at maturity. The flesh is pale yellow, tender and juicy, and has a few seeds. The flavor is insipid due to the lack of acidity in the fruit, but is appealing to some. "

Farooq, the description does not fit at all.
Its fruit is large not small, the flesh is white not orangish and it is not sweet.

If you can provide more pictures especiallyshowing flower and leaf morphology, along with a sectioned lemon, I can post to another botanical forum. We had simila lookingr lemons in our previous house, and we thought it is "kaaghazi leemu'n". Certainly yours is a hybrid or cross variety.

The fruit is in bunches too and the branches droop down due to weight of fruit.
