Fairly compact lemon tree (it would probably get large, but it is easy for me to keep it pruned to about 8 ft), but healthy and vigorous at the same time. It is exceptionally productive. On an 8 ft x 8 ft tree, I get at 50-100 lemons. And these lemons are huge: larger than baseball size, not quite softball sized. They are extremely aromatic and have an orange-lemon flavor (not as sour as a lemon, not as sweet as an orange, a nicely balanced flavor).
