Trifoliate Orange (Poncirus trifoliata) can grow to a large citrus tree. The
juvenile spines are thin, but on the mature tree they are stout and up to 2.5
inches long. Here it is hardy to 5 degrees. The fruit is very seedy and the
pulp is very tart - with much effort, the fruit can be made into marmalade or
lemonade. They are hard to eradicate once established.
