Lemons?

The main commercial lemon is the Eureka. Few other varieties are ever seen.
Two or three different varieties of lime are common.
If you live in a climite where citrus is often planted, a good nursery should have information comparing the different varieties of each kind of citrus.
I see someone has posted re: lemons.
" There are essentially two species of limes in common use. The large-fruited Tahitian type is known as the Bearss lime in California and the Persian lime in Florida. The smaller Mexican, or bartender's lime, is widely known as the Key lime of Florida."
