the meyer lemon tree


I guess we can't complain too much about the weather in Amboise when it's the end of November and we still have meyer lemons and blooms.  Although it is a race to see whether they turn yellow or freeze first !  (Actually we won't let them freeze, so not to worry.)

  1. Good shot!

    I can't recall seeing any lemon tree before, actually.

    1. And I'm sure certainly not in France and certainly not in November-December !

    1. Well, we'll find out. We haven't tried them yet.

  3. Are you going to make limoncello?

    1. I've not heard of making limoncello from meyer lemons as they are somewhat sweet as opposed to the lemons that limoncello is traditionally made from. If we had more, it would be a good experiment though ! (I love limoncello!)
