What citrus variety is this?

8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago

Hello everyone,

I have planted an Orange tree in a green space in front of my house 3 years ago, and because of the desert climate, and me being abroad for a year and a half, the grafted orange part had died, but the part supporting the root was kept alive somehow, and even sent few new shoots, which also lost all their leaves because of the lack of water, and now Spring is coming, new leaves have shown, and it's totally a new variety other than what it was bought for, because I remember 4 years ago I grew some citrus from seeds, and I had some similar looking leaves, which look like the leaf being split into 3 parts, and the end edges are not sharp, rather rounded, and I can't recall what was that, so anybody can help identify this little hope?

The reason, why I didn't pull it out and replaced it, is due to seeing it's been able to survive the burning sun of the desert, and the blazing cold of the dry winter, and if it's a fighter, then I' m willing to ride along.


The photo didn't want to upload here from my phone, so I'll put the link here:
