Lemons are a cross between citron and bitter orange. Possibly naturally occurring, but humans pounced and propagated.

we made our own lemons!

My wife is growing a lime and lemon in the backyard, both in pots. I just moved the lemon today to catch more sunlight as the sun passes South of the house. We have a peach tree that is very sensitive to the bright sun in our area, and that one must be moved to shade to keep it producing tiny, tasty fruit. 🤞

Lots of shifting and alignment to take advantage of the gift of sunlight. 🙂

I'd love a seed or two. I had a ruby red grapefruit seed that I grew to a little sapling in a pot. The leaves smelled so nice! I had it about 6 years, I think, it had bark on the trunk, not just the thin "branch" stuff. It made it through 4 moves, and then came down with something and died fast. I was very sad.
