Comments: -

2011: My mum purchased this lemon 'lemonade' variety a very long time ago. The flavors of this particular variety is amazing! It is not sour like the other variety but rather sweet. I love it so much that I took a cutting from my mum's mature tree 8 years ago. My 15cm cutting is now 1.5 high, currently it has 5 large fruits and hundreds of flowers. For a long while, we neglected it. We didn't water it, didn't feed it and yet it contines to flower and fruit for us. It is truely a hardy lemon tree with spectacular tasting fruit. I love it and recommend everyone to suss one out.

2012: This year, the plant went crazy and every single branch is covered in tiny marble sized fruits! I gave the tree a watering of Iron Chelate in the begining of every new season and just recently feed it some citrus fertiliser.

I have five clumps of this at various spots in the garden. Looking forward to having my own lemongrass for cooking.

Lemon Verbena ^10/10

Comments: -

Love this herb. It has a wonderful lemon smell and I use it for making tea.

Oct 2010, last winter every single leaf turned yellowish and dropped. I thought it had given up on me. Came spring and after some pruning, some new leaves are growing. Yipee!

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.

Lemonade Sumac (Seedling)

Comments: -

Rhus trilobata

native of SW USA where fruits were used crushed in water for refreshing drink

Seedling I raised in 1988 and transplanted from original planting site in 2008.

Still hasn't frutied and I suspect  that it may need another plant for cross pollination.

Looking for anyone who has this species  and willing to swap divisions or seedlings.

A friend has one which fruits prolifically and love the juice from these lemons. AS we use lemons almost daily, this is a must fruit tree for our yard.

Question:

Have I got a dud?  I bought my first meyer as a small bush and has been planted into large pot and grown steadily for three years. Is large and bushy and attractive although leaves yellow at the moment.  BUT this Meyer has THORNS!!!! and not one flower at all in 3 years.

Dwarf Lemon - Meyer (Cutting) ^10/10

Comments: -

Although this was bought as a dwarf meyer (not from Daleys), I think it is too sour to be a Meyer. It is on its own roots and is only 1m tall but bears heavily. It is a great fruit tree.
