I'm looking at purchasing a couple more larger citrus trees prior to winter.. going against myself, but I want them.

just curious on a lemon variety that the nursery has listed, its not one I've heard of before. Hoping someone could give me a bit of info on the tree and fruit.

Its the khasi papeda hardy lemon

They are not what I would call eatable... Most all of the Papeda hardy lemon's are very cold hardy but mostly ornamental...

Ichange is in the same family, but eat it ? Not me... Laughing

The big three are Eureka, Lisbon, (the two commmon store lemons) and Harvey Lemon. I have a Harvey Lemon, and it is a strong upright tree. It is also a little more cold hardy then Eureka or Lisbon, but still easily killed by cold weather. - Millet
