While we were wandering around Snug Harbor, and I was chasing Seth, I found something weird.

[conuly]

It's some sort of citrus fruit. There were tons lying all around the ground, they'd fallen off a tree. So it's a citrus fruit that can grow in New York. It's kinda fuzzy, about the size of a golf ball. I took two of them home to see if anybody could ID them. When cut open, it smells kinda like a lemon (I and 'dul think) or kinda flowery (Jenn thinks), but not at all sour or sharp like a lemon does. Jenn now says it's like a slightly soured/bad orange. Which may mean that the fruit itself is going a bit old, not that this is what it's supposed to smell like.

The brown in the picture is part of the peel, probably age.



So, can anybody help me out here?

Edit: So, all the things youse guys are suggesting grow this far north? Really? Cool.

It looks like it could be a meyer lemon (http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/lemon.html).
