 Hey, I was just wondering what the scientific name of the Sanbokan Lemon was, I am unable to find it online anywhere.
Thanks. | |

Actually, another question. I can't find the parentage of this plant anywhere either, there seems to be very little information online about it. | |

Hello JemsInc and Pasi,
Regarding to the parentage,
1- it may be a pumello hybrid (Citrus x grandis). It is also named Sanbokan Grapefruit. (Citrus paradisi certainly also being a Citrus grandis hybrid)
2 - The International Plant Name Index says Citrus grandis Osbeck var. sulcata is a synonym of Citrus sulcata.
That's a second hint of this Citrus parentage with pumello and/or grapefruit, rather than lemon. Maybe a pumello x lemon, lemon x pumello, grapefruit x lemon, lemon x grapefruit hybrid?
BTW, there is not much information about that Citrus, indeed. Maybe you've seen that page?

I don't recall that page, but most that I have found are like that. I already have one, I don't want to buy it. They don't offer much information.
Thanks a lot for your help. | |
