We have done our annual pruning of our lime tree and picked a lot of lemons and limes from our trees. Hubble has squeezed so many lemons over the last couple of days. There are still more lemons and limes (some pictured below) to be squeezed.

We have a litre of lemon juice in the fridge and are gradually freezing it in ice cube trays to tide us over winter.

We did a heavy prune of our lime tree. It was tilting over with the weight of branches and fruit. Now we have a lot more light in our small backyard which will be great over winter. The tree is upright now! Last year we gave our lemon tree a heavy prune for the same reason - it was in danger of falling because it was weighed down on one side with branches and fruit. The previous owners had only pruned the trees along the fence which caused the trees to become unbalanced over the years.
