A lemon to replace the one that froze a few years ago and an orange and a grapefruit tree. If we can keep them alive through the next 3-5 years, they should begin producing a good amount of citrus to share with friends and family.<br />
Their blossoms smell like heaven and the honey that the bees produce from their blossoms is light and very tasty compared with the buckwheat honey in the later summer season.<br />
