Top Ten Lemons!
Discussion
Err - bit hard, the genus is relativly small.
Still - here goes
EUREKA LEMON - The Eureka lemon is probably the most widely grown lemon variety in the world. It is a true 'bitter' lemon with a high juice and acid content.
LISBON LEMON - The Lisbon lemon is a good quality bitter lemon with high juice and acid levels and thin skin.
MEYER LEMON - This popular variety of 'lemon' is not in fact a true lemon. It is likely a natural hybrid between a lemon and either an orange or a mandarin. Hence the lower acidity, reduced bitterness and softer internal texture.
FINO LEMON - The origins of the Fino Lemon are obscure. However, it is thought to be derived from an old Spanish variety.
VERNA LEMON - Verna is another lemon variety only recently introduced. In European climates, Verna trees tend to bear 2-3 crops per year.
That's the top five at least.

mmm Interesting stuff - what type of lemon was I sold in Italy that you can eat whole and raw and is no way that acidic - would that be the Meyer? - was also a very large lemon.

Oi
Agree about Blair (obviously) and can't understand your not mentioning Irvine, Darling, Prescott, Brown and all the other t
s but leave the Volvo's alone OK. If like me you make your living flogging antiques the old workhorse is the only game in town. In any event my V70 T5 can see off a lot of much sportier looking transport, even with a large chest (ooh missus) in the back. (Lovely patina if you're interested).
