Ichang lemon. I like my Lakeland limequat. It made it through winter in a pot inside a portable greenhouse last year with little space heater same as my other citrus.

I have a Citradia (in Itay Piemont) in ground, not sure howhardy exactly, but I assume could take between -10 and - 12 ° C, and I had already some fruits, yellow, like small lemons and very good sour lemony taste.

I got my Ichang lemon grafted on flying dragon from McKenzie Farms in SC.

I would say Ichang lemon and thomasville Citrangequat for the lime.

I have Sudachi which is okay limish, but the fruits are smaller than my citrangequat so it takes a lot of them to make anything cooking wise...

You are better off with a sour orange which you can use like a lemon but is much more cold hardy
