Sweet lemons
I've grown just about all of them. I'm not impressed except for New Zealand Lemonade
Ujukitsu
Good but not great. I like minneola better
Sulcata or Samboken
This is more like a grapefruit than anything. It is later than ujukitsu like after Christmas
New Zealand Lemonade
Tastes like a grocery lemon that has been sweetened.

Tavares limequat, makes a large very sour fruit that tastes neither like lime or kumquat

Losers IMHO and have gotten rid of them sometimes after spending$40 for budwood
Pomona acidless lemon. Tasteless like all acidless citrus fruit, insipid and tasteless
Vainiglia Sanguigno Tasteless like all acidless citrus fruit, insipid and tasteless
Meiwa x Nagami kumquat This one never gets orange, nordman is much better
Marsh grapefruit. Never got sweet for me.
Yuzu. Full of seeds and I don't get it about the zest being so good. Pulled up a large tree.
Ujukitsu sweet lemon. Will leave a smallish tree at my old house. I didn't intend to grow it but got on the wrong branch of a multi-tree trying to get Nova budwood
Rio Red Grapefruit. Or any of the red grapefruits. Never got really sweet for me even waiting until April.

Impressive list!
It looks like you've tried many of the early maturing Satsumas. Which varieties ripened earliest for you? I am considering getting Xie Shan, but only if the fruit would be ready before Armstrong Early and Early St. Ann, which I already have.

Pleased to see that you like NZ Lemonade. I find it great for fresh eating and it's good for making marmalade.... 1 grapefruit to 4 lemonades.
Mine are just about ripe. After a very wet winter they have a bit of scab.
