Etrog

A traditional fruit, Etrog is the yellow citron used by Jews during the week long holiday of Sukkot. As a large variety citrus, it is one of the oldest, dating back to approx. 8000 BC. A majestic tree in appearance, the fruit looks like a bumpy, ribbed, lemon and is very aromatic The fruit has a very thick rind, with small segments and many many seeds so be careful to not place it near other seedless citrus as this can make their fruit seedy if there is cross polination. Cold intolerant, it is often best grown in a container. Watch out for the mercilessly sharp thorns.
