~ Lemon trees have inspired numerous poems and songs. This is quite surprising, considering how ordinary and simple-looking lemon trees are. I guess their simplicity and unfanciness project the pureness of nature and of love. They also make great juice.

I can think of several lemon-themed songs. There’s:
–Don’t Sit Under the Lemon Tree With Anyone Else But Me
–Put the Lemon In the Coconut and Mix ‘em Both Together
–Lemon Tree (Peter, Paul & Mary)

That lemon tree is very pretty. I bet the flowers are sweet.
Oh but that fruit! The poor lemon
It’s impossible to eat.
Hi,
Lemon juice is nice.. but remember to add a bit of “salt” apart from sugar.
From this part of the world.. we steam fish with lemon too. But 1 thing to remember, do remove the skin, or else ,the after taste is bitter.
When make apple juice, add a bit of lemon juice into it, it slows down the “browning” – oxidation effect.

Yes,the simple things in life always represent purity.
mmmm homemade lemonade!
I have heard there are lemons that can be sweet when picked right off the tree and eaten, not sure if thats myth though?

Admin – Don’t think so.
I have actually picked lemons off a tree, wiped them off and ate them skin and all. very tasty but have been told that may not be so good for the teeth.
