๐ When life gives you a lemon treeโฆ you wait 3 years for the lemons! ๐๐ฑ
Our greenhouse lemon tree at ClearView Communities is absolutely loaded with Meyer lemons, and theyโre finally ready to harvest!
This has been a three-year labor of love. It all started with a very sad-looking stick from Walmart that cost just $1. Honestly, there may have been a little overconfidence involved in thinking we could grow citrus! ๐
Last year, we finally got a few tiny green lemons. We even wondered if weโd accidentally bought a lime tree! Unfortunately, a scale infestation took out that harvest.
But we didnโt give up! Residents and staff have been checking on the tree every week, keeping an eye on what it needs, and helping it thrive. And nowโฆ look at all those lemons! ๐๐
Itโs a fun reminder that good things sometimes take time, patience, and a little TLC.
Want to pick one for yourself? If youโre visiting, feel free to stop by our greenhouse deck and harvest a fresh Meyer lemon straight from the tree!
