Ponderosa Lemons

[kedigato]

This is our Ponderosa Lemon tree when we bought and planted it on 04.11.09 -






It grew quickly, was cut back quite a bit, but when we left in January of this year, we still hadn't seen any flowers, never mind fruit. PV walked by it in May of this year and nearly bumped into a fruit almost overhanging the path. These are the pics he sent us in May -










These next pics were taken on 01.09.11 -









They are still growing but the large ones are now taking on the yellow colour so I guess they will be ripe to pick soon.





This wikipedia link says that they are slow growing and have larger blooms than do other citrus. However, I think ours never heard of either and is just doing it's own thing.

Ditto Kedi, bet they taste blooming lovely, lemon is one of my favourite flavours. They obviously like the heat and don't mind the lack of rain. Thanks for posting.

Those look lovely Kedi, it certainly seems to have done well and like Dag I've never seen lemons as big. I could do with one for Ann to sweeten her up a bit ;D ;D ;D I may not survive if she reads this ;D ;D

Best hide in the wood shed I think! ;D
