Here's some photos of the Nine Pounder lemon. It is different from the Ponderosa lemon. Leaves look similar but the fruit is not the same. Rind of the Nine Pounder is much thicker. This Nine Pounder grafted branch is only 2yrs old and has not grown much since the first fruits (3) were left on the branch. It took over 1 year for the fruit to mature. The two smaller lemons turned from green to yellow in 8 months.

Three 9 pounder, photo taken December (only 2 left on branch). The fruit is only 2.5 lbs since the grafted branch is still small.

It's a few years since I updated that web page, but I can tell you those pummelo X finger lime hybrids are now fruiting. I had hoped to create a cucumber-sized citrus fruit, but the wrong genes seem to have been combined. Instead of 'long' from the finger lime and 'big' from the pummelo, it's 'small' from the finger lime and 'round' from the pummelo! So the fruit is about small orange size and a bit elongated at top and bottom. And it tastes awful! Mike/Citrange

It certainly does have an unusual shape

The other 2 fruits of the 9 Pound lemons ripened and fell off the tree. Here's a few photos and more info on the seeds and taste of juice.
1. The seeds are about the size of a normal lemon (Lisbon, Eureka) seed. These fruits are still small since the grafted branch is only 2 ft long and is about 2 years old. 2. Juice taste like lemon, but not as acidic as the Lisbon seedless lemon.

How did you get the juice from it? Did you use a juicer? UPD: I use Bagotte Juicer if it matters
