Oh boy, new buds on my lemon tree ...
Aug 20, 2014 16:56:33 #
A while back I posted some photos of my Carrizo Dwarf Meyer (citrus) Lemon Tree. Say that three times quickly. In Florida, you probable see these, not so much in Pittsburgh, PA. I ordered the tree online last year and it was about 12 tall when planted. Its now about 6-1/2 ft tall and starting to sprout buds. Yeah! I just took a few shots of some of the buds. There are many more on the tree. Ripening occurs in the winter months, at which time we will bring the tree indoors.

Looks like their well on their way. When you get ripe lemons, post them. BTW, the Pirates don't look too good lately.

Pretty images, interesting tree!
Thank you very much for your comment, Linda. It is an interesting little tree. They say you can pick the lemons and eat them without peeling because they are so sweet.

Thank you, CJ. I certainly will post when they are ripe. I think the Pirates are going to be okay. Just a bit of a slump. Looking forward to the Steelers tomorrow night. :thumbup:

Thanks for the nice comment, Angela. I really appreciate it. You can indeed eat the lemons. They are a hybrid and are said to be sweet enough to eat right off the tree, without peeling the rine. Time will tell. These buds are very small, with the largest about 3/8" diameter.
