prolific bearer. Greatly in demand because 
flowers, green and ripe fruit, are borne almost

demand. Prune only enough to keep the tree 
shapely as the extra foliage protects the fruit 
from sunburn. 
PONDEROSA. The fruits of this Lemon are of 
amazing size. The juice is excellent, and makes

fast fruit; and the juice imparts a delightful 
flavor to mixed drinks.
