Amidst the many fruit trees in our yard, this Meyer lemon is a volunteer and an unexpected surprise! It came up alongside the tangerine tree, but, scratching the skin, I recognized what it was. Trying to explain why it tastes different from our other, typical lemons, I found it's a hybrid of lemon and Mandarin Orange!
Our two volunteer citrus trees have large thorns, but for the additional variety of fruit in the yard, we'll learn to work around that!
How extraordinary I have never heard of a mix of lemon and mandarin- I think it must taste wonderful! Perfect for a slice e in my G&T. - yes please Ken! Xx
@lesip We can use them interchangeably with "The Sunkist Lemons" further down in our yard. During the rain, these were easiest to step out and pick, and they tasted great also!
