My grandfather has the most magnificent lemon tree in his backyard. It has been my endless supply of lemons forever. The tree has been in his backyard since he came to Australia from Italy 60 years ago.
Everytime we visit my kids collect a bag of lemons. Its tradition, just the way I did it when I was a kid. I asked my grandfather once how he got the tree to grow so strong and healthy. He shrugged his shoulders and said "I do nothing, it grows" I have tried 3 times to grow lemon trees, without success.
My grandfather is 92 and is dying. When he dies the lemon tree dies too.
I'm going to miss the lemons.
