Muell. }} Acronychia acidula, lemon aspen, is a small- to medium-sized rainforest tree of the family Rutaceae native to north Queensland, Australia. The aromatic and acidic fruit is harvested as a bushfood. TaxonomyVictorian state botanist Ferdinand von Mueller described the lemon aspen in 1864. Its species name acidula is Latin "slightly acid".[2] Common names include lemon aspen, hard aspen and lemonwood. The true aspens of the Northern Hemisphere belong to the genus Populus in the willow family Salicaceae.[4] The genus Acronychia is a member of the rue family Rutaceae, the same family as the genus Citrus which contains true lemons. EcologyThe fruit are eaten by the topknot pigeon (Lopholaimus antarcticus).[5] UsesLemon aspen fruit has a grapefruit and lime-like flavor, and is popular in beverages, sauces and confectionery. The fruit has high antioxidant activity.[6] CultivationThe 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 from seedlings. It prefers well-drained and fertile clay loam soils, with a sunny aspect and extra moisture when young.[2] References1. ^1 2 {{cite encyclopedia |author1=Elliot, Rodger W. |author2=Jones, David L. |author3=Blake, Trevor | year = 1982 | title = A-Ca | encyclopedia = Encyclopaedia of Australian Plants suitable for cultivation | volume = 2 | pages = 141 | publisher = Lothian Publishing|location=Port Melbourne, Victoria | isbn = 0-85091-143-5}} [1][2][3][4]2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/TechSheets/HardwoodNA/pdf_files/popaspeneng.pdf|title=technology transfer fact sheet: Populus spp.|work=Forest Products Laboratory: R&D USDA |publisher=United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service|location=Madison, Wisconsin|date=|accessdate=20 September 2010}} 3. ^1 {{cite book |author1=Barker, RD |author2=Vestjens, WJM | year = 1984 | title = The Food of Australian Birds: (I) Non-passerines | publisher = Melbourne University Press | isbn = 0-643-05007-8 | page = 301}} 4. ^1 Zhao, J., Agboola, S., Functional Properties of Australian Bushfoods - A Report for the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation, 2007, RIRDC Publication No 07/030 [https://rirdc.infoservices.com.au/downloads/07-030.pdf] }}
