Garden Hortiscopes & History: Heaviest Lemon picked in 2003 in Israel

Author Content plantbubba Sour Lake, TX January 8, 2011 7:45 AM Post #8298826 Do you know which variety of lemon it was? melody Benton, KY (Zone 7a) January 10, 2011 9:28 AM Post #8302493 I'm afraid not. We glean the internet for interesting tidbits of trivia that may interest gardeners, but sometimes the information is not as complete as we'd like. Thanks for your interest though! plantbubba Sour Lake, TX January 10, 2011 10:51 AM Post #8302649 I have a feeling it was probably a Ponderosa lemon but one never knows. bsimpson1972 Chicago, IL (Zone 6a) April 20, 2011 6:17 PM Post #8509800 My hunch would be Etrog Citron (Citrus medica var. Etrog). They can reach enormous sizes. JuneyBug Dover AFB, DE (Zone 7a) April 21, 2011 4:04 AM Post #8510452 Sure looks like it. http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/records/natural_world/pl... ($10-15 per POUND?!?! I may have to grow a few of these! http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/etrog.htm
