The Millsweet Limetta (also known as the Millsweet sweet lemon) is a unique, low-acid citrus variety that resembles a lemon but tastes mild, faintly floral, and sweet. Prized for its refreshing, non-tart juice, it is self-fertile, features beautiful purple-tinged spring blossoms, and thrives outdoors in USDA Zones 9–11. 
🍋 Key Characteristics
    • Flavor Profile: Very low acid, reminiscent of watered-down lemonade with floral undertones.
    • Appearance: Medium-sized, round-to-oval fruit with a slightly bumpy, yellowish-orange rind and a distinctly indented nipple.
  • Tree Details: Vigorous grower with rounded oval leaves. Blooms primarily in the spring but can flower and set fruit year-round.
  • Harvest Season: Matures in the winter and holds exceptionally well on the tree without spoiling.
