This is my lemon tree. I received this as a Mother's Day gift several years ago. It is very hearty, as I am not a very good gardener at all! But this guy has managed to survive and product fruit each year. Year 1 - 2 lemons, year 2 - 10 lemons, year 3 - pruned - 6 lemons.
The buds form in the spring and ripen in January. It produces the best lemons ever. Very crisp, tangy and fresh with no bitterness. I guard them with my life!
I'm excited to have fresh lemons because I have several recipes that require them. Stay tuned for some of my favorites.
this is how the buds form
