Lemons (Limones Canarios) are in very short supply here in Mexico City. But each of my neighbors has a lemon tree, so we sent Marcos the Gardener on a quest to find us a lemon tree -- at least 4 years old with fruit. (There was no need to buy a tree that wouldn't produce fruit until after we leave in 2011.) After many weeks of searching, he found one with many flowers getting ready to blossom and one tiny lemon growing. Now the tree is white with sweet-smelling blossoms and the promise of wonderful yellow lemons.
