This Ichang papeda comes from the southwestern to western part of China. It forms an evergreen shrub or small tree growing to a height of 4.5 m, which is often thorny. It is frost-resistant to zone 8. The flowers are hermaphrodite, odorless, resembling bells. It prefers medium-heavy soil with a lot of compost, but it must not grow in the shade and must be moist, but not waterlogged. The fruits are used similarly to lemons, they are 5-10 cm large but have large seeds 15 x 8 mm. The fruits, which look similar to grapefruit, can be yellow or green depending on the degree of ripeness. They also correspond in size to grapefruit.
