Grows slowly and looks untidy in Winter but crops well and fruit ripens to perfect sweetness even in our climate. Popular with the kids! | Anthony M Iceli - Mornington, VIC 24-Feb-2006
We planted our tree approx 4 years ago. As we expected, the frist few crops were small, however now our tree is almost contantly in fruit. We have flowers, tiny fruit, plum sized green fruit and full fruit all at the same time. We love our lemonade tree ! | Neen - Melbourne, VIC 10-Aug-2006
We have a delicious crop of lemonades on a small 4 year old tree. They make the perfct marmalade with Grapefriut and tangelos | Edna Wooding - Te Awamutu, NEW Z 13-Mar-2007
Weve got a really prolific fruiter and eat them as is but mostly juice them and dilute with about 2/3 water, way better than fizzy drinks and we freeze any excess. | Heath - Toowoomba, QLD 12-May-2007

Not so much a tip but how do you know when to pick the crop.The tree is one year old and has about a dozen fruit on it. | Alan Nelson - Henley Beach, SA 17-Mar-2008
We have been told lemonades are best when picked and eaten whilst still fairly green coloured. They are delicious!!! | Roslyn Svensen - Rockhampton, QLD 05-Apr-2008
Yea they taste like lemonade out of a bottle but with no fizzzzzzzzz.... which i hate (i mean i hate the fiz) anyway pick them when they get a slight tinge of yellow or go pale green. theyre best then and if they go yellow(ish) they are overripe | Regerghtrhjtrsd - Hdfsthdtfhd, QQ 24-Jun-2008
I HAVE A FEW LEMONADES ON MY YOUNG TREE BUT THE LARGER HAVE STRETCH MARKS ON THE SKIN COULD YOU ADVISE | Preston Gowing - Forster, NSW 03-Jul-2008
My lemonade tree is old and has disease. you think if i cut it right back and start fresh it will be ok.or do you think I should take it out completely | Kerrie Zad - Bethania, QLD 27-Jul-2008
I use them instead of lemons to make ice-tea-very nice and smooth. Can anybody tell me if it is a cross between a lemon and a grapefruit, a lemon and an orange or neither? | Antoinette Wijnberg - Yeronga, QLD 04-Aug-2008
Just want to know if the lemonade tree is crossed with anything. as it looks very much like mandarine, but taste like lemons. or is that just how they are | Donna King - Port Augusta, SA 08-Aug-2008
My neighbour told me that I have a lemonade tree in our backyard. It looks like a lemon but smells/tastes more like a grapefruit & isn't sweet. My neighbour also said the skin is toxic & can't even be used in cooking. Can anyone help me with this? | Mary Janssen - Hampton, VIC 23-Aug-2008
