Laaz, does the Abers come true from seed?

Don't know, I've never started any from seed.

OK, now I'm not sure on this variety. I talked with Gene Lester & his Abers does not have these leaves. I have never tasted the fruit as I always thought the fruit was sour orange... I got my budwood from someone in north FL in 2004 or 2005 as Abers. I guess I will have to test the fruit this year & see how they taste. I have been growing this as a ornamental as I don't like sour oranges.

I still have to wait for the first crop, but everyone, who has this plant and tasted the fruits say, that they are sweet small oranges.

The Citrus aurantium var. salicifolia aka "willowleaf" looks different to me than the Abers/Varia as some of its leaves are wider and more wavy. Although it could be a result of its growing conditions at Grad85's place.

The first year my Abers fruited I didn't eat the fruit either. The next year I sampled one around December and it tasted like a sour orange. This past year I left one on until about March and was pleasantly surprised with the taste. It had a very agreeable, mild orange flavor with no bitter or sour at all. One thing is for sure, these trees try to bear very heavily. I always have to pick off fruit so it doesn't stress out my small tree.

@Mark_T I did save some seeds and will plant some tonight to see if they come up with the characteristic leaf shape. I might be able to share a couple depending on how many I actually saved.

They do come up from seed with the long narrow leaves. I planted some a few years ago, don't remember what I did with the seedlings. This is definitely not the willow leaf. My tree has a bunch of fruit this year, so I will try some.

I am sure, that Varia is not Citrus aurantium var. salicifolia aka "willowleaf" and I do not have good pictures of true Abers to compare with Varia. But Mr. Cernoch has Abers in his catalogue under citrus aurantium and Varia under citrus sinensis, so I think, he knows what he is selling. If true Abers has identical leaves with Varia (I do not know), and has sour fruits, it could be a seedling of Varia.

In Riverside they say it is a citrus aurantium from Bittersweet group.
The taste is bitter and sweet same time and if fully ripe can be a high sugar, which may taste to some well for there is also a lack of acidity.
