Availability of lemon in India:

Lemons grow in India, though they are seldom the large, bumpy, bright yellow eureka varieties most westerners are used to seeing. A purdue horticulture article explains that a few varieties grow in India, including the following:

Genoa: a medium-sized lemon with the characteristic bump at the apex. It has a good amount of juice with a clingy, yellow pulp.

Lisbon: low-yielding and short-lived in India. This variety is a pale yellowish green and of medium size. It’s juicy but also very acidic.

Nepali round: despite its name, this variety is of Indian origin. Many confuse this cultivar for a lime based on its round appearance. It’s a juicy, seedless cultivar that thrives in the south of India.

Rough lemon: a variety believed to originate in north India. Its name derives from its rough, bumpy, irregular skin filled with oil glands. It has a strong odor and flavor, bearing small seeds, and has very little pulp and juice. This type of lemon is best as an ornamental tree.

Sweet lemon: one of the most widely grown types of lemons in India. It grows throughout malabar and nilgiris and possesses a sub-acid, insipid taste. Sweet lemons resemble the eureka cultivar, except its notable lack of acidity.

Villafranca: another low-yielding, short-lived variety in India. The fruit has a bright yellow, medium thick skin and is quite oblong compared to other varieties. Its nipple is also quite pronounced

For other parts of the world, lemon season is year-round. In india, however, these cultivars come and go throughout the year.
