Ichang lemon tree is known for its extreme cold tolerance, with reports of it withstanding below 10F. The large, rounded fruit have a thick, tender rind and sharp, snappy flavor. Excellent juice quality, can be used for mixed drinks, lemonade, and cooking. We juice this one out and freeze it in ice cube trays. Just drop one in a glass of tea for a lemony edge. Fruit ripens October to March. Self fertile. Zones 7b-10.

I Chang (Citrus ichangensis) is formally known as the “Ichang papeda” and is truly a most extraordinary plant which grows wild in southwestern China, reportedly surviving subzero temperatures. The fruit is oblong in shape, much like a lemon, with rough, pale orange rind and meaty flesh packed with seeds.

  1. I always struggle to find plants that will grow in the full sun, clay soil area behind my house, but this plant is hanging in and growing. I can’t wait til the hummingbirds start to come.

  2. It arrived intact, just in need of some care. I’m happy to have got this one, this tree means a lot to me – one of my favorite as a child in the countryside of Brazil.

  7. I have purchased now three cold hardy citrus (citrandarin, and swingle citrumelo) both are in ground, doing great, but this thomasville cintrangaquat is shriveled, looks dry, and not happy. Little concerned this one is not going to make it and do as well as the other two.
