OK, point taken, but we can still call it Jose's tree, then amplify that when we see what it produces. It's definitely not a Meyer Lemon though.

Well, technically it isn't a new species. Each grafted piece remains its own, original, unique species. So if it's a lemon tree with 6 different graftings, it's simply 7 species all growing together. The characteristics of each will not intermix; they'll remain quite segregated.

This was an ordinary Lemon tree which had about half a dozen graftings from different orange trees. It was done by our late neighbour a couple of years ago. It will thus be effectively a new species so perhaps we should name it after him!

Is the product known as Meyer Lemons? We have a Meyer Lemon tree and we get a magnificent yield. The lemons are oranges in colour,and almost the size of an orange and tart and juicy. Will post a picture if possible.
