how did you end up with a meyer lemon tree in a manhattan studio apartment?
good question.
i'll tell you.
while vacationing in utah, i ordered a lemon tree online for a v.v. cool mother's day gift for my chef mom.
when i returned to nyc, a half dead (it'd been there a long time) lemon tree (uh.. stick) greeted me on my door step.
silly me, i'd put her address as my own.

and at that point, the struggling lemon stick was in no condition to travel to utah....so.
i kept her (gladys the meyer lemon tree)
and bought her sister for mom.
my tree doesn't exactly look like a tree..more like a spastic shrub.
maybe trees-like pets-resemble their owners?
buy your own meyer lemon tree here
they're inexpensive, low maintenance, pretty when the white flowers bloom, and harvest pretty yellow lemons (mine took a year to fruit.... be patient).
