Variety description

10 August 2026

The lemon variety MESSARA is a Greek cultivar, which is mentioned in international documents for the protection of breeder's rights. Its main known characteristic is relative resistance to the dangerous fungal disease of citrus — mal secco (Phoma tracheiphila).

Detailed agronomic and morphological characteristics of the plant, such as fruit parameters, tree height, or maturity dates, are absent in open publications. This name is mainly associated with a geographical region on the island of Crete, known for olive oil production.
