Whe they taste sweet of course!!!!!!!!!

Lemon tree very pretty
And the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the poor lemon
Is impossible to eat...

Oh, reely? When my daughter was at primary school, she objected to
the fruit we offered her, and said that she would prefer to take a
lemon. That blew the minds of the dinner ladies :-)

I still eat the lemon wedges I get given in restaurants. Nice and
sharp.

I refer the Honourable Gentleman to my earlier reply.

Yes, but you seemes using such a song to express a point of view.
Not all the song are always in the right place.
I know some good song and other not the same.
I generally care to use them in the right context.

No lemons on my bush!
What conditions do you keep? And indoor or outdoor?

None on mine either - but then, it's only three or four years old.

I keep mine outside unless there's a threat of a frost. Only forgotten
to bring it in once, but it took that in its stride and didn't even drop
any leaves, despite the frost being quite a hard one.

If the lemon was planted as a pip, expect to wait twenty or thirty years
for fruit. Usually, fruiting buds or twigs are grafted onto younger
stock - once the tissue is programmed to fruit, any further growth on
that scion will continue to do so.

Yes, that's the way we judge it. *;-)

The sense of smell is usefull too. Lemons, Melons, and quite a lot of
other fruit change their smell as they ripen. If it smells like a
Lemon it is probably ready.

Except that immature lemon trees, before they fruit, have leaves that
smell strongly of lemons.

Which make a nice tisane, or flavouring in cooking...
