Stan, your first photo does not show trifoliate leaves. I'll have to have a better look next time I'm up.

I cannot see any trifoliate leaves on the picture above.

My citremon started to be orange by the end of December but because of extremely mild weather I let it hang and harvested only today
The skin has a piny smell, some fruity note of the ripe poncirus fruit but little resemblance to the lemon.
Moderate amount of juice, no seeds, no internal oils, acid like an average lemon, 11° Brix, some faint notes of poncirus, bitterness a little bit stronger than that of grapefruit.

Beautiful fruit! Very attractive, but maybe not as hardy as a Citrandrin, Citrumelo or even a Citrange? Okay, I am talking about winters as they were years ago. A low of -5° like this ongoing winter is no problem for rustic Citrus. We did not have one single frost-day . Most nights above zero and daytime temperatures up to 20° both in Jan. and Feb.

It was nearly killed to the ground after -15C nights in 2012, but it was a strong grower and in two seasons fully restored its trunk. Currently it is a shrub approximately 4 meters high.

I have a row of citremons. The monofoliate leaves are very seldom and their petioles are not winged. For years they froze to the ground every winter but the last years they didn't and are now 3 m high.
