Lemon Tree Very Pretty And The Flower Is So Sweet

The lemon flower is so sweet.

I love my lemon tree. It never fails me..Each year it provides me with a huge amount of fruit.

It requires very little to no care at all., it basically just takes care of itself and just keeps on giving..

That tree is so generous, if anyone comes to visit, they are sure to take home a bag of lemons. And the neighbors are more than welcome to help themselves from their side of the fence and they do.

Its very pretty with its tiny white blossoms and bright yellow fruit.

Ahh and not to forget its fresh lemony fragrance as you walk beneath it...

The lemon should be harvested as soon as it becomes fully yellow, for best flavor.

As the saying goes.."When life gives you lemons"
