ID of citrus - mutation or what?
This grotesquely shaped citrus is growing in a Sydney garden.

It's a conversation piece alright. Technically edible, in that there's nothing poisonous there. But it's mostly peel, with very little pulp inside, and the pulp is sour and lemon-like. The fruit is highly fragrant when ripe, and one of them in a room will make the whole room smell good. |
