Hi, does anyone please know how I can tell when the lemons on my
lemon tree are ripe and ready to be plucked? *Thanks.

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.
