Geoffrey, there was at least one review article on hardy citrus in the Pomona a few years ago that covered these topics. I don't know if the index goes that far yet.

Folks,

I've been researching zone 5 hardy tropicals with an eye towards
trying to grow some within the next couple of years. I still have a lot
to research but I have a few questions that some of you pioneers may be
able to answer.

3) Oranges - Ponicirus trifoliata is listed as having fruit that is
inedible (bitter, I assume) or lemon-like. What are people's experiences
out there? Is it worth growing as a lemon substitute? Does the fruit
mature in sone 5? Does anyone have experience with any of the other
winter-hardy hybrids out there?
