Lemonade Berry Rhus Integrifolia

Comments: - Rhus integrifolia is an extremely drought tolerant plant native to California. While a few Rhus species can be used to make lemonade, R. integrifolia is the only true Lemonade Berry. It produces pink berries that are steeped in water to make a refreshing lemonade flavoured drink.The roasted berries can be used as a coffee substitute.

Dwarf Lemon - Meyer (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: - Has delicious fruit - was here when we moved in. I've tried an experiment wtih the size of the tree and sectioned it off into quarters. I pruned one quarter almost skeletonised, one pruned heavily, one lightly and one not at all. It's worked really well - instead of having a glut of lemons every Winter, we now have a manageable crop every three months. Now, we have full grown lemons storing on the three, half grown lemons, blossom and foliage growth. Going to try on other citrus trees to see if it's successful.

Lovely small lemon tree, baring a large crop of fruit. Fruit tastes of  lemon, with mandarine.

Have had this plant well over a decade,  But was not doing well in a container so planted it, after moving, into my garden where it has been thriving.

Dwarf Lemon - Meyer ^7/10

Comments: - Everyone has to have a lemon tree in their garden surely :) this is the dwarf lemonicious, it's been a trial and error as i'm new to gardening so some leaves have been curling inwards which may mean i need to adjust the nutrients in the soil?

Pest Control: recently been attacked by scale i've been removing as much as i can see by hand and using pest oil to rid them but it's been a tough process, losing a lot of leaves to yellowing but it's bouncing back ok.

This poor tree has had a rough life .... inherited from my mum who passed away 5 years ago. Lived all it's life in a small pot. Just got into the gropund early this year and produced fruit fro the first time .... :-)
