Ivan sent me this very rare Femminello from Italy, but told me not to share it with anyone. Now it must stay in my private collection!

Shocked

Great analysis.Really value your input. It strikes me the wrong way...just how desperate some people can be...just make a small sale on ebay. But guess the exchange rate helps..lol

Yea, there are a couple of sites having reported and researched on these heirloom varieties. Tbh, had been wanted always to make fresh, all natural squeezed lemon juice...

really captivating stuff. Have got some Palestinian Sweet Lemon/lime, but it still turns bitter even after adding some zest/juice of acidic lemons/limes.

The tree looks like a kumquat as do the fruit on the tree. The cut fruit do not even look like the same variety... On the other links most look like pumelo or grapefruit. Try doing a google search & about the only thing that turns up are Ebay auctions. Laughing

Fruits are the wrong shape and the peel is too smooth to be Pursha. Millet

If you're looking for something to make sweet lemonade, I would suggest Sanbokan or Ujukitsu lemon.

I have a young New Zealand Lemonade tree. I purchased it just a couple weeks ago, so it will be a while before it fruits. I wonder what quality of lemonade it will make. In my opinion the best lemonade is with either Eureka or Lisbon.. Before I dug up and tossed out my Meyer Lemon tree, I once made lemonade using its fruit. Meyer lemonade is OK but not a crisp nor clean tasting when made with a real lemon. - Millet
