Someone on eBay is selling seeds for an Anatolian Lemon. Is this something they made up??

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170630678630&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123

I notice they don't state their location, make sure you check it out before you buy (if anyone is considering), the USDA watches eBay and will visit you to seize seeds and maybe all your citrus if you buy from a place that shouldn't be selling them. Instead of cracking down on the sellers, the buyers get in trouble.

I think the biggest give away is "This variety is Big Juicy Anatolian Lemon that has NO seeds in it"

So how are they selling seeds ?

Too many scammer's on Ebay.

LOL, I thought the same thing!

Anatolia is an area of Turkey inhabited by the Kurds. They grow lemons in Turkey, and the name Anatolian Lemon is just a local name (if not a made up name by the seller). The lemons in that area of Turkey are a variety called Interdonato. Interdonato lemons have a very pronounced nipple on the styler end, as shown in the E-bay picture. Interdonato lemons are much larger, longer, and smoother, than other lemon varieties, with a thin rind and a FEW SEEDS PER FRUIT. (Remember, at least in the USA, a citrus fruit containing 6 seeds or less can legally called "seedless". - Millet (635-)

It caught my eye because I've have an Anatolian Shepherd Dog, a very interesting breed that was bred to be alone with the flock (sheep, goats, etc), so they have very independent personalities, much like a cat.
If you ask them to do something they will think about it first to see if they agree.

> Anatolia is an area of Turkey inhabited by the Kurds.
No, Anatolia is Turkey without the European part. The Asian part, that means most of the country. Kurds only inhabit the most South-East part of Anatolia.

By the way, the item is said to be in the USA. (state not precised).
"Item location: USA, United States"

Interestingly, this Ebay seller also is selling Anatolian oranges and Anatolian tangerines. Anyone have an idea what varieties these might be as well??

At nearly 65 cents per seed (after figuring in the $5 shipping for what could ship in a bubble envelope for about a $1.2 they'd better be darn good lemons...

Sylvain is right, Anatolia is the part of the country on Asia, it is a big peninsula. My city is at the very south of Anatolia. The south part of Anatolia has the most suitable climate for citrus but also at the north, along the Black sea coast, citrus is grown.

Anatolian lemon, Anatolian orange or Anatolian tangerine are not even local names, they are never used as names of any citrus variety in Turkey.

It is probably Interdonato as Millet stated.
