I realize this is only arguably a citrus (although recent genetic work suggests that it is), but has anyone played around w/ clymenia? Thoughts?

All I know is that it's extremely tropical, such that Riverside couldn't keep it alive outside, although it was thriving in the greenhouse.

From the book Citrus industry (Page 374)

" Clymenia is a remarkable genus (of which only one species is known) is in its general aspect so much like Citrus that it was at first mistaken for a sweet lime. It bears sweetish edible fruits about the size and shape of a sweet lime in color, again like sweet limes. However, Clymenia differs very widely from Citrus in many important taxonomic characters especially in the type of pulp-vesicles. The fruits of Clymenia are about the size of a small orange."

I've seen the tree at the CCPP greenhouse. I obtained a Clymenia seed when Citrus Joe and I visited the CCPP, and germinated it in a 4" pot, but the seedling tree has since died while still being quite young. - Millet
