It is just only "three" months old, less than 600mm tall and less than 30 leaves, but it is fruiting now. Thanks to marcotting, grafting or budding methods, maturity period of most fruit trees can be shortened. But obviously this plant is too "young" to bear many fruits.
I bought quite a number of lemon plants from Sarikei Market at US2 each a few months back and re-planted into my farm. So far only two plants had produced one fruit each, this oval lemon and the other long lemon. I like lemon plants because they can be made into pungent drinks and also emit nice smell. These fruits are now expensive to buy from market, costing US2-3 per kilogram.
