Lemon aspen, "Acronychia acidula" is a small to medium sized rainforest tree of Queensland, Australia. The aromatic and acidic fruit is harvested as a bushfood.

Lemon aspen fruit has a grapefruit and lime like flavour, and is popular in beverages, sauces and confectionary.

Growth

The tree is grown in small-scale commercial bushfood orchards on the east coast of Australia from North Queensland to Northern New South Wales. The tree is quick growing and requires regular pruning to maintain a practical harvesting height. It has a moderate crop yield, and bears in four years as seedlings. It prefers well-drained and fertile clay loam soils.
