    huh. we have a tree of meyer lemons and they’re just as fucking huge as the ones on the right. also they just kinda hang out on the tree all year until they’re ready to use or fall off. like 6 months from ripe til dead. we are very lucky i don’t know what i’m gonna do when that tree needs replacement

      the supplier to my grocery store might be picking them early and having them ripen in transit, or perhaps they just sell a smaller cultivar?
