I grew up in San Bernardino and my dad owned a 6 acre orange grove in what is now East Highlands. Of course it is now an ugly housing development. I spent countless hours there, even knew how to drive an ancient tractor. Now I have 6 citrus trees, eureka lemon, three navel oranges, tangerine, blood orange and seedless valencia. They are just loaded with fruit this year, we had to prop up some branches. They are so easy to grow here everyone should plant at least one orange tree in their yard!

I planted about 7 citrus trees three years ago — for some reason my 1920s spanish did not have any fruit trees! This is the first year they bore fruit and tho I planted them so that they would ripen thruout the year, EVERYBODY is bearing at once, grapefruit, two tangerines, two oranges, lemons and limes.
now I can’t wait for the blossoms!

Our Meyer lemon has been going gangbusters since December – Saturday I squeezed 24 cups (!) of juice and froze most of it in 3 cup ziplock bags for lemonade later on…
