Lemon or lime? Just for fun, a little story about our “lemon” tree. This is a photo of the tree we bought last year that was labeled as a Meyer lemon tree. We were so excited to have a lemon tree when we learned that in our climate (growing zone 7), it can thrive in a pot outside and just be brought inside for the coldest months of the year. So far we have only had green “lemons” so we are wondering if perhaps we actually bought a mislabeled lime tree. It is full of blossoms again this spring, so we’ll keep you posted if we can make lemonade sometime this year with some homegrown lemons. That would be exciting!
