Acid fruits

Acid fruits include lemons and limes, but the true lemon (Eureka & Lisbon types) is not recommended for home use because of its susceptibility to scab. The 'Tahiti' Persian lime and 'West Indian' (Key or Mexican) lime make a satisfactory acid fruit for the home since fruit can be picked any time of the year. The 'Meyer' lemon is a reasonable substitute for true lemons in home gardens. The 'Eustis' or 'Lakeland' limequat and the calamondin are all good acid fruit for landscape use, but have more limited appeal for most people.
