   looks like poncirus trifolata…or hardy orange is the common name. I’ve not checked my facts from google.
   I’ve used the little fuzzy fragrant yellow fruits in a bowl (& coming back to the room and the frangrance is wonderful).
   …but watch dem thorns!

   Tri-foliate Orange. Do not plant this as it will take over.

   This is a Trifoliate Orange (Poncirus trifoliata). It’s related to citrus, but can escape cultivation, particularly around old farms.
