Lemons, there is the lisbon, meyer and ponderosa if you want a huge canteloup sized lemon.
My 15 year old lemon tree had major damage from the cold weather this past winter. [Note: I was too sick at the time to protect the fruit trees.] I had to cut off about 3/4 of the limbs that had died. By May the remaining part of the tree started sprouting new growth.

There is no fruit growing on the lemon tree now. I hope the next year I will get a few lemons.
