Is the midline of the fruit curved or straight? If it’s curved when you cut the lemon down the poles is HLB.

Yes, it is clearly a California Citrus not Texas Citrus...Its "Alamo" the Spanish word for the poplar tree.
Well as the say in Texas,
"Remember the Alemow".
Total agree with Vlad. Buy a grafted tree from nursery cost around $30, and 6 buds cost $30. Totally not worth it.Living in a citrus quarantine zone I can't always find the varieties I am looking for at local nurseries and mail order is not permissible.
Bovine, I have not seen that particular wrap, so I can't comment on how well it would work. What I have seen most frequently for freeze protection is the Tree T-pee that I mentioned in the other thread. It has to be used in combination with a microjet or it does not provide much protection. They leave them on year round for the first 3-4 years. Here is a link to the Frostproof Growers Supply that sells in bulk to local groves.This looks like a good product but because they sell to commercial groves, you must buy at least 10 ($7.95 per t-pee) and the shipping was minimum $73 for the 10. Anyway for 10 my bill would have come to over $150. If you order 30 the shipping goes up to $120. I am hoping they respond to my contact and get a more reasonable shipping rate.

Below is a link to an article that should be a fairly accurate review of the t-pee since it is from the University of Florida not the inventor.
