The wife has one of those "miniature" lemon trees in the house right
now. (I say "miniature" with tongue in cheek; it's in an 18" pot and
we could barely get it through the French doors to bring it inside.)
The good news is that it has produced about two dozen lemons. The bad
news (I think I mentioned this last year) is that they just don't look
right nor taste right to me. Nice yellow rind but green-yellow flesh
that tastes like an "off" lemon-lime. She likes 'em though, which is
all that matters.

Hope you enjoy your lemons, Wayne!

Best -- Terry
