Cedrate Lemon, also known as Citron or Etrog, is a citrus fruit tree that is primarily grown for its large, thick-skinned fruit.
The Cedrate Lemon fruit is highly prized for its fragrant, thick, and bumpy rind, which is often used in cooking, baking, and as a flavoring for liqueurs and other beverages. The flesh of the fruit is less juicy than other citrus fruits, and is often used in candying, preserving, and making marmalade.
The Cedrate Lemon tree is a slow-growing, evergreen tree that can reach up to 20 feet tall. It has a bushy growth habit and glossy, dark green leaves that are fragrant when crushed. The tree produces large, white, fragrant flowers in the spring and summer, which are followed by the fruit.
Cedrate Lemon trees are hardy and can tolerate a range of temperatures, but prefer a warm, sunny location and well-drained soil. They are also drought tolerant once established, but benefit from regular watering during the growing season.
Cedrate Lemon trees are often grown as ornamental trees in gardens, and are also used in religious and cultural practices, particularly in Jewish culture where they are used during the holiday of Sukkot
