After the big canker scare in South Florida, some of the decapitated stumps survived and put out branches of their original root stock. 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.
