maravilla, if I was near you, I would drop you some off for you, but we rarely head to the ‘city…’

Hi Michael,

I planted a lemon tree from seed 10 yrs. ago and though I dont recommend this as fruit is not guaranteed; I miraculously found fruit just this past week. Yes I am overjoyed and will share my little bounty when they become ripe. Real lemon trees do not exist in Costa Rica. There are similar tasting limes but not the true lemon. Leave your email and I will let you know when they are ripe. I am in Heredia.[quote=”jmday”]Hello
I have several recipes that require lemons as an definate ingredient…not just the juice which is easily available in concentrate.
Limes do not accomplish the same taste at all..in fact ruin the flvour of the original recipe.
As I am a serious cook I am trying to get as many resources as possible here.
It may seem a small point but I was hoping to find a good produce place to stock up on hard to find produce.
Thanks for any help anyone can render.

mysticmaiden, as you can see mine above, they do exist but are not available commercially.

Vivero Potpourri de Tilaran and vivero Los Angeles both have the California style yellow, grafted, lemon in the photo.
That’s way up north, in Costa Rica.8)

I think we bought ours in Tilaran.
