Subject: [NAFEX] More on Meyer
Lemon
Dear
members,
Today, I went
to a store, much like your Home Depot in the States, and
found in
their greenhouse little citrus bushes full of orange-looking fruits
that the clerk,
who was new in the plant business obviously, assured
me were supposed to
be lemons, although the labelling was non
existent. Does Meyer lemon
look like small squat oranges? They were
numerous but very small, with a
bit of everything in the bush, from
flowers to small green balls to
fruits at every stages of ripeness.
The bush was in a very small pot for
its size, so that could account
for the size of the fruit. I brought one
fruit home, looking very
ripe, and it does taste like very sour
tangerine-like.... Sweeter
than lemons, at the same time quite sour too.
How does that sound to you,
Ginda? Could they be Meyer lemons?
The bushes are selling for $21
dollars...
Maybe, they
are kept in a small pot to facilitate handling.
Hélène, zone
3-4 under a lot of breaking records snow.
I can
reach the top of my semi dwarf trees for pruning without snow shoes until
close to noon, since there is also a layer of ice under a few inches.
Most of my trees are still buried. Underneath, the ground is not even
frozen. Quite a winter!
