Our Jamaican Ugli Tree

We've wondered for a year now, gone so far as an unsuccessful google search in our quest to discover what kind of citrus tree we have growing in our yard.  It's in full bloom now, making me wish I had more recipes that called for the juice of a Jamaican Ugli Tree.  Our neighbors proved more helpful than even google.  Imagine that!  Search no more, we've got an ugli tree on our hands.

Odd though, that the more-lemon-like fruit than anything else we could compare it to, is not ugly (or ugli) at all.  We tend to believe that it's a lemon crossed wit the traditional tangerine-grapefruit combo of an Ugli Tree.  Whatever it is, the fruit is beautiful in color and fragrance.  If you can look past the lumpy appearance, it's really quiet lovely, in an abstract, lopsided sort of way.  But the color, wow!  Hello sunshine yellow.  I think I love ugly fruit.

Always on the grow,
