The Balotin Lemon ( Citrus Balotina ), also formerly called Pomum Adami or Adam's Apple , is one of the most fascinating specimens in the Treatise on Fruit Trees .
Described by Poiteau and Turpin at the beginning of the 19th century, it owes its name to the singular mark it bears on its summit — a cavity reminiscent, it was said, of the imprint of the first bite of the forbidden fruit.
This exceptional lemon tree , similar to the citron tree in the thick texture of its flesh and the richness of its juice, seduces with the strength of its bearing , its stiff and thorny branches , and its large and pink flowers , bursting with beauty.
Its massive, bumpy, golden fruit ripens slowly — eighteen months after flowering — and contains a tangy water ideal for flavoring drinks and preparations.
Grown in the orangeries of the King's Garden in Paris or Versailles , the Balotin Lemon embodies both botanical rarity, biblical symbolism and natural elegance .
A work at the crossroads of science, poetry and decorative art, sublimated by the precise and luminous line of Poiteau and Turpin.
