“The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now.” — unknown
Bonnie’s lemon tree is in its third year with us, and each season, it grows a little more and produces delicious fruit. We have it in a large pot to bring it inside during the winter and give it a headstart each spring. The photo shows only two of the many young lemons on the tree this year. They appear as regular lemons in looks, but these are a hybrid lemon/orange variety with a unique sour/sweet taste.
The tree has been well-fertilized, so the greens are deep and dark. This shot was made early in the morning, just as the sun kissed the top leaves.
A bit late commenting here but love the greens in this image. My sister and brother-in-law have a couple of these trees and a lime tree. Nothing like freshly made lemonade. And, my sister does make a mean keylime pie!
There’s no time limit. 😉 We find one to be plenty for us. We need to water it every few days, especially when it’s dry, as it is now. Yes, I found these greens appealing as well. Thanks, Monte.
