Citrus limon var. pompia

Citrus limon var. pompia is a rare Sardinian citrus treasured for its striking, oversized fruits and sculptural presence. The plant forms a compact tree with a rounded canopy and glossy deep green leaves that catch the light beautifully. Thick branches carry prominent thorns, adding character and strength. The fruit appears large and slightly irregular, with a thick, deeply textured rind in warm golden yellow tones.

In spring, Citrus limon var. pompia produces clusters of fragrant white blossoms flushed with soft pink. Their sweet scent fills the air and attracts pollinators quickly. As fruits develop, their impressive size becomes the main attraction. The rind feels almost spongy and aromatic, rich in essential oils and intense citrus perfume. The pulp inside remains firm and slightly tart.
