About Trivoss No. 1

Trivoss No. 1 belongs to the hybrids developed or selected for growers working in cold climates. Its main appeal is a small, tangy, fragrant fruit that can stand in for lemon in many uses, on a plant markedly hardier than a classic lemon tree. This selection appeals to collectors exploring citrus for more demanding winter conditions.

Our observations at the nursery

At the nursery, Trivoss No. 1 comes to maturity around the end of December. We find its hardiness excellent.

Trivoss No. 1 or another variety?

Trivoss No. 1 should be thought of as a hardy citrus for the kitchen rather than as a classic lemon. Thomasville is another very worthwhile option for this kind of use. To explore further, see our “Lemons and lemon substitutes” category.
