Meyer Lemon update

The Meyer Lemon Tree is doing well. The lemons are slowly changing fron green to yellow ...can't wait to make some homemade lemonade with these. I can remember my Grandmother Dunavant bringing me fresh lemonade while I bush-hogged the "North Forty". Man that was good. I miss you Grandma Dunavant!

Lemon Tree (Meyer)

A new addition to the pond area is our Lemon tree. It is a Meyer Lemon that was purchased at Bennett Nurseries. Wikipedia says the Meyer Lemon (Citrus × meyeri) is a citrus fruit, native to China, thought to be a cross between a true lemon and a mandarin orange or sweet orange. The Meyer lemon was introduced to the United States in 1908 as S.P.I. #23028, by the agricultural explorer Frank Nicholas Meyer, an employee of the United States Department of Agriculture who collected a sample of the plant on a trip to China.
