I had the opportunity to tour the Amalfi coast a few years ago before I got into growing citrus. It was absolutlely gorgeous.

I have been trying to find an Amalfi lemon tree for awhile now. I have also seen Amalfi Lemons referred to as "Four Seasons" or "Lunario", but never have seen any for sale in the US. Have you ever seen one for sale?

I did manage to find some Amalfi lemons at a grocery store in the UK about a year ago.

I now have about a dozen one year old seedlings, but it will be awhile until I get any fruit and there is no guarantee on its quality...

I have seen a similarly looking stuff last autumn in one vegetable supermarket nearby.
Probably a hybrid with pomelo. It is aromatic but not as acid as lemon.

I think it is a citrus limonmedica, a cross of Lemon and Cedro.
