Hi Skeeter,
Great looking lemon-how tall is it? Is it a Meyer?-it appears to look more like one of the traditional true lemons with pointed ends-but I may be crazy Wink I have yet to plant a grapefruit inspite of the fact that just about a mile from me on the road I live on there are two large grapefruit trees. I must plant one-but my wife is angry that we now have a dozen citrus trees in the front yard Shocked We are expecting to hit the mid 20s here this week-I hope our mini groves survive this winter Very Happy

Hi David-- that lemon is a Lisbon Lemon, one of the "true" lemons, and it is now about 10 to 12 ft tall. The tree has just finished it's 4th growing season and this is the first fruit set. I estimate that it had about 100 lemons.

I too am getting ready for a shot of cold--we are expected to hit mid 20s Tuesday night. I will wrap all of my smaller inground trees and the lower part of the lemon. I will put all of my seedlings inside my shop.
