Thus here in South Florida you can now see these "rough lemons" in back yards. They are fine for cooking and lemonade. They definitely have a different flesh from Pomelos. In any case, they are rather disease resistant and cold hardy so, Be Happy!

Thanks for the Info!
I am going to try to make a lemonade out of it and see how it taste.
I was thinking of cutting it down and using it to graft some other citrus on it. It grows fast and cold tolerant.
