(Clem x Tri) x Clem
1/4 Poncirus 3/4 Clementine.
Outstanding hardy citrus. The tree is unifoliate for the most part, pretty much thornless and produces a fruit about the size of clementine with incredible contrasts. The skin of the fruit is a bright deep orange but when you cut into the fruit it is lime green. It's flavor is lime-like (with a little imagination) but with very little or no off flavors. It gives Dragon Lime a run for its money but it does have way more seeds.[1]
CiClem #10 aka Golden lime Citrandarin
1/2 Poncirus, 1/2 Clementine
A Citrandarin. Developed by John Brown of Texas. As the CiClem name implies, it was one of a number of crosses with Clementine mandarin, which readily sets hybrids. This particular cultivar has fruit the size of an egg with light orange flesh and is sometimes called the golden lime. When diluted with an equal amount of water the juice makes a good limeade drink. The tree is spreading and large with few thorns on bearing wood. Flavor: Sour lime, some off-flavors, fair to good quality. [1][2] p. 21
