New Zealand Lemonade Hybrid Lemon Budwood

Citrus limon.

'Lemonade' is reported to be a sweet lemon hybrid of unknown parentage with a very pleasant taste, and can be readily but not easily peeled. The fruit is small-medium, and not very seedy.  The trees are semi-dwarfed (on trifoliate rootstock), but quite productive. The main crop matures in early spring in New Zealand, with much smaller summer crops also occurring.

Rootstocks of accession: Yuma Ponderosa Lemon, Schaub Rough Lemon.

Season of ripeness at Riverside, California: January to April.
