California Citrus

Citrus

Citrus trees come in all shapes and sizes. I have a grafted tree that produces both lemons and oranges. 

 

Lemon and Orange Tree

I keep pruning and the tree keeps growing. Since I am pretty short keeping up with the tree is a challenge for me. But nothing beats the taste of home grown fruit, don't you think?! 

A beautiful sight

I call this citrus tree Vladimir. He is energetic and strong and loves women. Especially if he can impale them with these ever so nasty thorne. 

 

Nasty sharp thornes

It never failed that I am lured in and end up with blood running down my fingers. Yes nothing in life is free and Vlad has a price I need to pay before I can enjoy his gifts.
