I have planted seeds from a New Zealand Lemonade fruit that I got from Petr Broza this year. Two of the six seedlings have some trifoliate leaves, Petr has Flying Dragon, N1 Tri Voss and 'African shaddock' x 'Rubidoux' trifoliate flowering in his greenhouse, so these may be pollen parents or maybe a trifoliate growing near his greenhouse. It looks like New Zealand Lemonade can easily produce hybrid offspring with trifoliate or its hybrids as the seed parent...

Oh boy! Maybe another cold-hardier lemon variety!

hi jibro, how did the hybrids get over the winter? It would be really interesting if the lemonade likes to hybridize with trifoliates.

I did not test them outside, they were with my other citrus in a cold room during winter, so they are OK. One has more trifoliate leaves like a typical F1 Poncirus hybrid, other has only a few partially trifoliate leaves...
