That's true, I think Bob has the largest citrus "Graveyard" in the country. If he doesn't like it, it's off to the compost pile. Laughing

@opedemeiadojoao

Villafranca is a city in Sicily from were same named Lemon comes from.
It is one of the best sorts.

@Laaz I get PrimoFiori seeds soon.

@Ivann

Genua/Genovese is the best tasting and most cold hardy lemon I know.
It is very good for your place and fits also historically as Dalmatia was a part of Italy and Ragusa (Dubrovnik) and Genua were Allied Cities/States ...

That was fast, budwood on my front porch when I got home for lunch! Thanks again Millet, the budwood arrived in excellent condition. I'll get it grafted up tonight after work.

Radoslav, if you have spare seeds of this it would be great to try. Looks like a nice variety.
