The Little Tree That Could
We've been growing a few citrus trees on our back patio ever since we moved into this house. Earlier this year, a got a surprise cold freeze that killed our lemon tree, or so we thought. I purchased a replacement and transplated the dead looking tree into a 5-gallon paint bucket, not sure if it would ever come back. Much to my amazement it has started to come back. One entire side of the tree started sprouting leaves about a month ago and then it started to flower. Now, just this week, the other side of the tree is starting to sprout and flower buds are ready to open. This little tree has come through seemingly fine and full of life more than ever! Now we just need to make sure Mr. Max doesn't mess with it and it should be ready to transplant again soon!
