Title: Rosso Blood Lemon
Post by: franklazar26 on August 10, 2022, 11:04:45 PM
I have a few Rosso blood lemons that I’ve managed to root, and graft. I have 3 small rooted cuttings, and 2 grafted trees on US942. All are still young, but I’m wanting to gauge interest to those who are wanting to trade something as they become ready, which may be a few months out yet.

I’m mostly looking for other interesting or hard to find citrus cultivars, such as this rosso blood, that I can expand my collection with.

Being that this particular budwood is not typically for sale in the US, I wish to not name a price, but rather trade. Rosso blood lemon is an Italian variety, however I can’t tell you what it’s use would really be other than ornamental/collectors value. I believe it is high oil content, but I’m more of a visual collector than just for uses. I have seen the fruit coming from this budwood and can attest to it.

I don't think I have anything to trade that you dont already have. That Aus Blood Lime you sent me is doing well though. If you decide to sell I would be interest. I'm only growing a few citrus but something like this def seems interesting.

Is Rosso blood lemon a Lemon cultivar, Citrus limon, or something else ?
Maybe C.jambhiri ??

I believe it is citrus limonia, or citrus limon rosso. There’s not a lot of info on it, as it seems like it’s pretty rare. From what I hear, it tastes that exactly of a lemon, a little more complexity, only has a blood/red pigment to its flesh and it’s quite a large fruit.
