Hello, We have a citrus tree that was in our yard when we moved in 5.5 years ago. Last year it produced for the first time and had less than a dozen fruit. This summer it produced several dozen. I have no idea what it is, so I'm turning to you expert growers. Initially when the fruit began to appear in Spring, I thought it was related to kaffir lime, but it does not have the same leaves. Then I thought maybe it was yuzu, but again, leaves are not the same. Leaves are in cluster of 3, and has HUGE thorns. Fruit on my tree is golfball size and smaller. Lots of seeds and little juice. Is this edible? Worth saving the plant? Looking to clear some space in that part of the yard. Pardon the brownish/gray on the skins of the fruit.... ash from the wildfires here on the West coast. Thanks, EB Attachments:

Looks like Poncirus trifoliata. It is an excellent rootstock. You should try grafting something onto it if your place does not get too cold.
