I have a Lemonade tree with immature fruit on it at this time.  I should have seeds in 2-3 months.  I would be happy to supply you with seed at that time.  Let me know. - Millet

You can eat the fruit of the New Zealand Lemonade tree out of hand,. It really does taste like lemonade.  Delicious. - Millet

It's just a lemonade tree.

In Neither New Zealand or Australia is it called New Zealand Lemonade Tree. Nobody says that.

They are literally sold in every nursery in Australia as Lemonade Trees. You cannot walk in to a Bunnings in Australia without seeing half a dozen lemonade trees grafted on to flying dragon rootstock.

It is quite interesting how items are named in the different parts of the world, even when the same language is used.  In the United States the tree is always called a New Zealand Lemonade tree. - Millet

I have a couple of Ujukitsu sweet lemon trees.  I wonder how they compare?

IMHO NZ lemonade is very much better than ujukitsu and has real lemon flavor. I've grown both.

I have fresh seeds if anyone is up for a trade. Don't forget, it is a hybrid, so you may not end up with the same thing.

Yup, and in Denmark you won't find a breakfast pastry called a danish.  Same principle.
