follow up:

I have about 3 clemenule fruits that I think it will grow to maturity the way they look.
Somehow there is no telling that the clemenules are flowering constantly. Not many but 3 or 4 flowers at a time so you can see the different sizes of fruit on the tree.

Here are some f the grafts that I made to my matured Eureka lemon. Those were only experiments but I found out that this lemon can take many varieties of oranges, pomellos, tangerines and other lemons. here are some samples:

Thank you so much Island Cassie. You made my day.
I have more pictures to post but I still have not check them for identification.

Here's one more pic but an unknown variety. I just got a small branch from my sister in laws house but they don't know what kind of lemon it is.
