I grow one in a pot, and it usually produces a few lemons for me each year. Actually, it lives in a pot in the winter, and in the ground in my backyard in the summer. It likes full sun, but I found it too much work to keep it watered in a pot in full sun - in the ground, it rarely needs to be watered. (Indoors, it gets watered once a week, except when I forget.) Yes, the fruit tastes a little like a tangerine, and a little like a lemon, and a little like itself. It's nearly as sour as a standard lemon - not a fruit to eat our of hand unless you like very sour fruit. I like the flavor a lot, and I use it instead of lemon when I have some. In a good year I get fruit around Passover, and use it for a special Passover dessert. I've also had some grown in California, in the ground, in full sun year round. That was a good-sized tree, and produced lots of fruit. It was sweeter than mine ever get, although still not "out of hand" sweet. On Mar 22, 2008, at 9:04 AM, Hélène Dessureault wrote:
