Has anyone crossed Meyer with a good lemon to try and keep the Meyer hardiness while making it actually taste like a lemon? |

I would think any cross with a true lemon would reduce hardiness.

Why Faustrime? Because it fruits from seed in two years.

Maybe....my impression was that Meyer was a true lemon crossed by an orange and that Meyer had similar hardiness to an orange so that backcrossing to a true lemon might result in some of the offspring also having orange like hardiness??? And of those maybe some would taste like a true lemon??? |

They do taste like a true lemon, when they just get a hint of yellow.

Citrus Glauca x Hong Kong kumquat
Citrus Glauca x Meiwa Kumquat
Citrus Glauca x Trovita Orange
Citrus Glauca x Pomelo
Citrus Glauca x 9lb Lemon
Citrus Glauca x Flying Dragon
Citrus Glauca x Fast Poncirus Trifoliata
Citrus Glauca x Sunrise Lime
Basically we should try Citrus Glauca with everything because it goes from flower to mature fruit in only 8 weeks, can tolerate high summer heat and light frosts (one pdf I saw claimed it can take -24C, this must be a typo), can be eaten whole with the peel, and can tolerate alkaline soils and drought. I'll buy one when I get the chance. |

I believe Gene Lester has it, I'll have to look at his list when I get home.

Where can we learn the resulting characteristics of each of these crosses?

How much of Citrus glauca rapid fruit development is due to the fact that the fruit is so tiny? |
