They were having a bonsai show at our botanical garden yesterday and look at this guy! Not mine unfortunately but it was so beautiful.

Thought this bunch of lemons was too good not to share

This is my dad. He’s been a citrus farmer all his adult life. He’s very proud of the Buddha’s hand he grew this year. It’s his biggest one in 15 years.

I went away 3 weeks & left some overripe Meyer lemons on tree. (I don't usually waste them but the ol' girl had 400-500 this year & I couldn't juice all before leaving.) When I got home, I saw some on the ground, a couple completely peeled. Then I saw more, hanging naked in the tree! They're not rotted, no bugs or bite marks! This tree’s 30 yrs old & nobody remembers this ever happening. Who's the lemon peel thief?

Moved from the garage inside to the laundry room (carefully as the doorway was a challenge) and she is super happy.

•Zone 7b Pennsylvania

•Humidity 40-50% / 62-68F

•New growth all over

•Water 2x a week

•Fertilized Dec 19th

I love it so much in here. If we had a bigger laundry room I’d keep it in here year round. Not sure where we will set up come spring as we just took ownership in the fall.

Cheers!

About once a year, I go just a little bit too long inbetween watering, and my key lime tree has a comically dramatic defoliation. It always bounces back, and I still get fruit, so at this point, I can just laugh it off and not panic. But still... 😅

(Bonus picture of the key lime pie I just baked with its fruit.)

And now I can't find a single ladybug on the tree 😂

Finally get her outside last week - zone 7a

Not sure if I want to keep it here or build it its own patio outback somewhere

-original owner could never get lemons because of a pesticide treated in her yard in NJ.

6 months inside and got her outside a noticed a fatty coming!! 🍋😍

8th year, 2nd year of fruiting. It usually ripens late January. We are zone 10b.

Last year we got a few fruits for the first time but not much.

The original mother plant was very sweet and productive, so we took a risk with a few seeds.

Our tree produces more kumquats than we can pick! Had people come pick all they want and still a lot left.

I’ve been training this beauty for 7 years. Typically, I try to let it produce 3 lemons because they use a lot of energy from the tree to fully develop, but the squirrels decided to tear one off this season. Lemons will be turning yellow in few weeks.

Can I just stake my lemon tree and call it a day

I read that lemon trees are great at self-thinning fruit when needed so I decided to test that and didn't remove any blooms. 60+ lemons on a tree less than 3ft tall seems excessive, but I'm not complaining!

Snapped a few pics from my dad’s garden. He loves taking care of his orange and lemon trees

Check out this insane Four Season Citrus I found in Singapore. It's NOT plastic, as evidenced by the fallen fruit in the background. Citrus fruits, especially orange and Mandarin, are strongly associated with luck, wealth and harmony so Chinese people have bred and grown insanely productive trees like this to help flex their festive muscle. I'm told the fruits are no good to eat but there's ten million of them if that helps

Seems like there's interest in photos of my seed grown lemon tree, so I decided to do a collage of it through the years. Wish I had done better documentation. Description of photos in comments.

The lemon tree is in some serious need of love. The lime tree is doing better, but was dropping a ton of leaves.

Gave them both some blood meal and water.

Good luck little trees!
