Summary

'Eureka' and 'Lisbon' Lemons (Citrus limon) from the Burnett region in Queensland were stored for 14, 28, or 42 days at 1 °C followed by 7 days at 20 °C to compare their relative susceptibility to chilling injury. The potential effect of cultivar on injury development was examined by harvesting fruit from trees subjected to the same growing conditions to minimize all other variability. Injury appeared in both cultivars after storage at 1 °C for 14 days and 7 days at 20 °C. An analysis of the results suggest that the lack of commercial success of cold-treated Queensland-grown Eureka lemons is not because they are more sensitive to chilling injury than Lisbon lemons.
