I had a relative who lived in California during the middle part of the last century. He owned an orchard where among his crops were lemons. Near to 1970 he and his family made a holiday visit to our much more northern home and when he came he brought along a 50-pound burlap bag full of lemons from his trees. They were not like lemons from the store--they were almost as sweet as oranges and that whole bag disappeared in fairly short order.

No they are Persian Sweet Lemons they are native to the southern parts of my home country of Iran. We call them "Limo Shirin" in Farsi, which means "Sweet Lemon". They are just that, sweet lemons, deep lemon flavor, a lot less acidic than lemons. You have to eat them quickly after you slice them open as they turn bitter in about 1 minute when it reacts to air. If you are in Los Angeles you can find them at any Persian (Iranian) Grocery store.

For long term seafaring explorers they were vital against not known to them scurvy! Finally the English discovered that lemons and limes prevented this and so they stored it on their ships. That’s where their sailors got the name limeys!
more specifically the term limeys originated during the war of 1812, when britain got largely cut of from their supplies of lemons used to make grog and thus were forced to switch to the use of limes, which they stuck with even after the war.

On the Texas gulf coast lemons grow everywhere. We grow a number of varieties in our yard (2 varieties of Meyer Lemons and Ujukitsu that are so sweet, you don’t have to add water and sugar to make lemonade), as well as Golden Grapefruits that look like sour yellow grapefruit but tastes like an orange, and Satsumas (a kind of tangerine). We have a fig tree, grapes and blackberries. Hilariously, because everyone thinks Texas is hot, it’s too cold to grow limes. They are grown further south in the Rio Grande Valley.
I lived in the Rio Grande Valley a few years ago and tried to get a Mexican Lime tree and a Valencia Orange tree to grow. The orange grew tall and well and bore fruit. The lime on the other hand refused to take hold and withered.
I used to visit my friend who lived in Northern California, and in that city there were lemon trees in everyone's yard and sometimes the people would let me picked some lemons 🫐🍋 to take home 🏡. I like visiting my friend 😅.
Some navies attempted to also introduce sauerkraut which was cheaper and preserved easily but the sailors REFUSED to eat it. In fact, most changes to naval/military rations were generally disliked such as later desiccated vegetable or dehydrated soup (also known as portable soup)
I believe Captain Cook insisted that sauerkraut be served to sailors on his ships as an antiscorbutic. I hadn’t read anything about wether the sailors actually ate it or not!
I have a five foot tree of the improved Meyer variety. The sweetest fruit I've ever had, felt like I could eat the rind. The flowers come just when Winter gets the worst here, but they are pretty darn hardy and do fine in my greenhouse.

It's amazing how fast and large it grows!
13:03 I never thought to have kids sell homegrown garden veggies. That actually seems like a really good idea. I've no interest in lemonade stands usually, but if I saw a kid selling home grown summer squash and carrots, I'd buy some.

I moved to Brazil from Uruguay and i found curious that in Rio de Janeiro the real lemon (Yellow like the video) it's scarce and expensive. People here are much more used to what we call lime ( tahiti lime) is what Brazilian uses on the popular alcoholic drink Caipirinha. Regular yellow lemons are considered fancier here. In my country of origin you can find yellow lemons planted in almost every yard. Its inmensely popular.
It's worth mentioning that one of the reasons the citron fruit still survives because it is important to Jews as one of the four species used in feasting for the holiday of Sukkot. The specific cultivar used is known by the Hebrew name etrog.

I have stolen once an orange from the orangerie in Versailles, France, and the king did have an old, wild vartiety, with nearly an inch thick skin and barely any fruit inside.
If you see one of those green and yellow striped lemons that's pink inside shown at the end you should buy it and plant the seeds. I saw those and bought some to try them and I was so surprised they were pink inside. Impress your house guests by garnishing something with a slice of those. Explorers knew about plants with vitamin c for a long time and they collected a bunch of plants besides citrus for the same reason.
Right after we were done watching this video my husband made me a glass of lemonade. It was delicious! Also, the sound in your videos has really improved!
I graft and propagate citrus and have read that the origin or human use of citron was area around Nepal. Cocktail grapefruit was a California bred variety but abandoned due to seeds. It is the 6 million dollar man of citrus to grow and is the most vigorous imo. Lemons also used for secret notes in invisible lemon juice.
I used to eat lemons as a kid but stopped when I learned it could take the enamel off your teeth. I still love them and use in salads, soups and drinks. My favorite fruit.
Scurvy was a killer in maritime ship voyages. The British Royal Navy recommended lemons to be consumed by its sailors due to a lack of lemons limes became the source of vitamin C, which is why the British are called limeys

Very interesting,Sir. I asked in one of your earlier videos on history of foods, about Navel Oranges. Can you please tell me, if it’s fact or fiction, that all Navels in existence today, came from a ‘freak’ tree in South America and were first propagated in California by missionaries who grafted cuttings onto Valencia rootstock? Also, do all citrus have the wonderful aroma of oranges? Though it’s a brief period, that smell lingers in my mind, even in my old age. 😊✌️👍👍👍
