I have about a three story lemon tree that is so prolific that I can't use them all.......ya'll want to come for lemonade? Anyway, I had no idea how special it was until word got out.....one couple drive 30 minutes from the campo to get lemons from me!

For that reason, Todd should be able to grow an orchard of lemons on his mountaintop in Patzcuaro -- unless, of course, they do not like altitude, either. If peaches will grow there, I assume lemons must have a chance.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-15308122204177105082008-06-02T18:27:00.000-05:002008-06-02T18:27:00.000-05:00Ah, the lemon-lime controversy, lemons don't toler...Ah, the lemon-lime controversy, lemons don't tolerate the tropics, they are a more temperate zone citrus.
