A close cousin of Eureka with a reputation for being tougher and more productive, Lisbon produces the same classic tart lemon flavor on a more vigorous, thornier tree that's noticeably more tolerant of heat, wind, and cold than most other lemon varieties.
If Eureka is the standard, Lisbon is the hardier upgrade — it's often the preferred commercial variety in hotter inland growing regions specifically because it handles tougher conditions without sacrificing fruit quality.
