I realize that a 9lb lemon is probably not good for much....but.....my sickness makes me want it and will get budwood asap. I have grown some huge Ponderosa but not a 9 pounder with that charpei skin.😀

I was told that the nine pound lemon (sold in Europe) is in fact a hirado buntan pomelo.

You are right. It is Hiarado Buntan. The folks at Disney do not deny this. In fact the say it is HBuntan on their site. So.....the peel and pith on this 15 pounder must be about 4 inches thick....I would love to have the growing conditions it lives in at Disney.....nah just get me in trouble.

It's very interesting variety, but the fruit on the picture is not Hirado Buntan: citrusID Hirado
Hirado also have pomelo like wide petiole, Nine pound lemon on this video has leaves more like Ponderosa or other citron (Citrus medica) hybrids without wide petiole:

Maybe she's a midget & that's just a Ponderosa... The photo is definitely not a Hirado buntan.

I hear that. The technique and environment at Disney that this "thing" grew in opens the possibility that......this might be anything....including a gmo. I know not what it is....
