Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of lemon plant named ‘CE-D5-1-9-42’, characterized by nearly seedless fruit, early fruiting, and high fruit production. Additionally, the new lemon cultivar also is compatible with trifoliate orange rootstocks, unlike most lemon varieties. This new cultivar has high quality fresh fruit, as well as juice, peel oil, and other lemon by-products viable for processing. Further, given the new lemon cultivar's good HLB tolerance typical of lemons, and its near seedlessness, this new cultivar may have significant dooryard tree potential.
