Just a brief followup to Elizabeth's post.
It turns out that both Citron and Sour Orange trees are still available,
although not terribly common. I bought one of each today from a nursery in
Fremont that specializes in citrus (I gather that the founder is the person
responsible for developing the grafted dwarf citruses a few decades back).
The citron is an Etrog--still used in Jewish ritual. The orange is a
Seville Orange, still used for marmalade and (according to the tag) Middle
Eastern cooking.
So in a few years, if all goes well, we can make our naranjiya right.
