Development of the Lemon Cultivar ‘Jeramon’ with High Acid Content and Good Fragrance

The lemon cultivar ‘Jeramon’ is a nucellar seedling obtained through controlled pollination, with ‘Frost Lisbon’ as the seed parentand ‘Meyer’ as the pollen parent. ‘Jeramon’ had its first fruit set in 2012 and was selected in 2015 after evaluating its characteristics forthree consecutive years. The ‘Jeramon’ tree was vigorous, upright-spreading, and flowered three times a year (mid-May to Early June, lateJune to early August, and early September). The average fruit weight was 120 g. The rind thickness was approximately 5 mm, which wasthicker than that of common citrus cultivars, including Satsuma mandarin and late-maturing cultivars. The rind and pulp were pale yellowat full maturity. Total soluble solid ratio and acidity were 8.5% and 11°Brix, respectively, which were higher than that of ‘Frost Lisbon’. ‘Jeramon’ is self-compatible, producing approximately 10 polyembryonic seeds per fruit (Registration No. 9060).
