It was available as budwood from AusCitrus not long ago, but not now ??
If you contact them to clarify, or ask if you can still request budwood not on the current list.
Any citrus nurseries in Tasmania ?

Otherwise try to track down an existing tree.
Home gardens or lemon orchards should still be growing it
Some nurseries may still be selling trees.
Check the stocklists of fruit nurseries.

Thanks but we haven't been able to find any available in Tassie, hence the post. I'll try AusCitrus right now.

I can't help in sourcing one. But the Yen Ben is a Lisbon sport, whose main quality is that the rind is smoother than other lemon cultivars, but inside it is much the same.
I think they may have once been popular because they produced a smaller tree, but today with the availability and use of flying dragon rootstock, tree size can be controlled below the graft.

Ok, interested to know the result. It must be still around as it only became available over the last 20 years.
