I have three interesting fruit trees in my yard. I have a Meyer's Lemon which produces lemons about the size of small grapefruit. It makes wonderful lemon pie. I have a Verigated Pink Lemon which produces lemons with a pink color inside - sort of like a pink grapefruit. It is not as tart as a yellow lemon. My favorite, though, is a Key Lime. It produces lots of key limes which are yellow when ripe (not green) and are somewhat smaller than the Persian limes you buy at the store. My wife makes a no-sugar, low-fat Key Lime Cheesecake that is delicious.
