I absolutely love the smell of the leaves when crushed. This plant demands more water than I give it, and always looks slightly wilted, but I did plant it on thery poor soil and is competing with another tree.

Lemon - Eureka ^10/10

Comments: -

Don Burkes said that every garden needs a lemon (or was it manderine?). I heard this was similar to the 'Lotsa Lemon' and that is a productive little bush. It looks very healthy and has lots of blossums right now.

Kumquat - Meiwa (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: -

I love eating these sweet-sour lemonly citrus straight- especially for their sweet rind. Out of the fruit trees I have planted these were the first to have fruit, and from family I know they are a very productive plant. Unfortunately the possum wanted to try too and climbed up the stalk of one yound bush, causing it to snap in half. It seems to be still surving by a sliver of bark, and I think it has a new bud coming from above the graft mark so that is good news.
