I would suggest you add a Mandarin [or 2]. I believe they are a cross between Satsuma and Tangerine. They peel really easy and have a lot of flavor.


Also you might add a grapefruit.


Down the road a few years.... recommend you get a Juicer, if you children are not eating everything that is produced. In 5 years that lemon tree should produce 200+ lemons.


I juice my lemons [and other fruit] and freeze the juice in water bottles. Don't throw away the lemon rind.....I grind in up in a food processor and freeze it in zip-lock bags. I use it when boiling seafood; Shrimp, crabs or crawfish. I like lots of lemon flavor when I boil seafood.
