Wow this variety has such a nasty taste that i removed the plant from my yard and resold it.
Sometimes you just got to try something in order to say that it really does taste as bad as it is reveiwed.

I may be wrong but I get the impression you don't particularly like the Palestine Sweet Lime Laughing

They have a very different taste don't they! I grew an acidless orange by accident and had 5 gallons of fruit the first year it fruited. At first I hated it. When I quit expecting it to taste like an orange it was OK. Later I cut the limb off and replaced it with something better.

I have Pomona acidless lemon fruiting for the first time this year. Very bland taste.

You know it doesn't seem to matter that 99 people don't like the taste there is always the one that likes it. Very Happy

We all want to be that "one" so we dutifully shell out the money believing that one marketing add that praises the taste only to be replused by our first bite. Shocked

Yep! We're normal. We're one of the 99. Laughing

Who is that nut that liked this disgusting fruit. He's probably the guy that wrote the add! Smile

I like them; I'll admit it. It does rather remind me of much-diluted lemon Koolaid with a bit of Johnson's baby shampoo added; nevertheless, I like it.

I was expecting a valley lemon I don't know why. It had a rather odd after taste also. None the less this is one variety and only variety I've disliked. Like the saying one mans trash is ones treasure. One mans dislikes are to another man something he likes n
