Narrative
'Gul-gul' or 'Gal-gal' is described by Hodgson (1967): "Fruit medium-large to large, oblong to ellipsoid; low, sometimes furrowed collar or neck; usually with short blunt-pointed nipple, sometimes depressed and flat. Rind medium-thick; surface usually smooth but sometimes moderately rough; tightly adherent; color pale to golden yellow. Segments about 10; axis large and hollow. Flesh color pale yellow; coarse in texture, moderately juicy; flavor very sour and with trace of bitterness. Seeds numerous and large. Tree vigorous, upright or spreading but irregular and open, with stout branches, numerous thick spines; leaves large and dull-green, resembling the sweet lime in form and tendency to rolling or cupping. Flowers large, purple-tinged, and produced in spring only. New shoot growth purple-tinted. This Indian citrus fruit of ancient and unknown origin is also known as the hill lemon or Kumaon lemon. While resemblances to the lemon are obvious, there are notable differences, among which are the essential oils and hence the aroma of both leaves and rind, and the single bloom, one-crop behavior. Moreover, the tree is more resistant to both cold and heat. The galgal has commercial importance only in submontane areas along the Himalayas and in parts of the Punjab where it is grown as a substitute for the lemon or lime. Several unnamed clones are propagated commercially, including an acidless form". Another active accession of 'Gul-gul' is RRUT 71. The two accessions should be observed and, if redundant, one should be eliminated. Twenty five seeds of RSD 2005005 were received; six were retained after germination. (RR Krueger, 09/02/2010)

An apparent nucellar seedling (RSD 2005005 SG 4942) was chosen based upon SSR markers carried out by summer intern Leonard Lara under the direction of Prof Mikeal Roose in 2009. This was retained and renumbered as RRUT 528. The other surviving seedlings (4944, 4945, 4947) were disposed of. This still needs to be observed and compared with the other Gal-gal accessions.
