This fine plant, about 2.5 metres tall and wide, was one of two grown from seed about 20 years ago.The second plant was apparently removed after inebriated undergraduates complained of being speared by its large thorns!
This is a large-flowered variety with flowers about 7cms in diameter.

Photos of the Poncirus trifoliata at Surrey University, Guildford, Surrey, England. Taken with flowers fully open, 17th May 2001.
There is also a group of about eight closely-planted Poncirus shrubs in the 'Alice' garden, part of the Castle Gardens in Guildford town centre. These group is close to a footpath and has been regularly trimmed back, so forming a short length of dense hedge. Some young fruit were visible within the hedge when photographed in July, 2007.
