One thing I don't understand is that lemon peel rots away in compost
heaps within a month or two but orange peel doesn't. I suppose it's
the same thing that makes them taste different.

Where were the fruit grown? I will not venture to guess, but much that
comes from italy originates from biological farming without being
certified as bilogical, while most that comes from spain may be
certified as whatever but is none.

In view of the treatments that most fruit are subjected to, an easy
explanation comes to my mind.
