Let’s see if any of you amateur naturalists can identify this bush/tree.

Key lime?

Nope…but it’s in the citrus family.

Orange

A grape or plum vine/bush.

Trifoliate orange.

The trifoliate orange, Citrus trifoliata (syn. Poncirus trifoliata), is a member of the family Rutaceae. Whether the trifoliate oranges should be considered to belong to their own genus, Poncirus, or be included in the genus Citrus is debated. The species is unusual among citrus for having deciduous, compound leaves and pubescent (downy) fruit.[2][3]

It is native to northern China and Korea, and is also known as the Japanese bitter-orange (karatachi),[4] hardy orange[5] or Chinese bitter orange.

What did I win

Lol

Looks pokey

Pretty close for a MN guy!

I did have an advantage, this is my prized key lime, brought it home from FL, it does produce limes.

I gather they make some kind of fruit, are they edible?

They make a fruit that looks like a small lemon and has a strong citrus taste - full of seeds. It is said some folks make lemonade out of them - I havent tried. They are a scourge down here in the south. I have one in my front yard my wife wanted to leave and it reaches out and scratches me every time I get near. They will make dense thickets here.

I have made lemonade from them and it was very good.

How big or old does your plant have to be before it starts producing pies???
