Which lemon is it?


Arif

A big one! LOL
Irfan

I came across this lemon at someone's house who had bought it from Lahore Nursery and is known as the 2 or 3 kg Lemon but its not worth growing as the taste is bit queer and cannot be compared to other lemon varieties having higher yields e.g Australian variety locally known as the royal lemon variety but Chinese lemon variety without any doubt is the best in terms of prolific fruiting and taste.

Most likely a relative of the Lisbon lemon?

Sir,
I dont know its exact name but maybe its Ponderosa lemon. I have this plant too but i am still waiting for the fruit. One and a half month ago i went to a nursery and saw this plant with fruit. Sharing pics with you.

Saeed, Yes it is a big one, comparison with the chines



mikhurram,
Yes chines is most prolific but to me it is nothing compared to our old Dasi in taste and flavour.

Today I will cut it and see its properties, by tapping it sounds hollow.

Personally I like this (name I know not). It is big, size of a Kinno has good flavour, seedless and is very juicy.

Brig Sahib,

True that the taste of desi lemon is unrivalled. The 2 to 5 Kg lemon variety i was referring is much bigger than than photos posted above.
regards,

On cutting;

Had no lemon flavour it tasted more like a Khatti with Numbness of tongue.
It has no place in my garden
