I'd vote for maybe Meyer lemon? they are more round than other lemons, color up a little more orange color that most lemons but are definitely lemon flavor, just a little less acid that most lemons but still tart, and the dark bark for an in ground tree is about right. the exact parentage of Meyer is not known, as it was discovered in the open, rather than part of a breeding program, but some have speculated that it may have been a cross with a lemon and an orange.

I always call a guy who grinds stumps.He leaves a nice pile of mulch from the tree in its place.He goes down far enough I can plant right in the same spot!

This was posted on the cooking forum. I'm thinking about trying it. Well, I'll rephrase that! I am going to try it, just as soon as I find the energy to! Sour Cream Coffee Cake recipe for Mattie...... clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by marigene (My Page) on Thu, Jan 24, 08 at 15:04 Here is the recipe you requested, Mattie. I have been making this cake for several years. I believe the recipe came from either Good Housekeeping or Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Sour Cream Coffee Cake 3/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped* 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon sugar: 3/4 cup for topping; 1 1/4 cups for cake 3/4 cup butter 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups sour cream 3 eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract In small bowl, combine walnuts, cinnamon and 3/4 cup sugar. Grease 10-inch tube pan. In large bowl with mixer at medium speed, beat butter with 1 1/4 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Add flour and remaining ingredients and beat at low speed until blended, constantly scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Increase speed to medium; beat 3 minutes, occasionally scraping bowl. Preheat oven to 350�F. Spread half of batter in pan; sprinkle with half of nut mixture; spread evenly with remaining batter and sprinkle remaining nut mixture. Bake 60 to 65 minutes until cake pulls away from side of pan. Cool cake in pan completely on wire rack. Makes 12 servings. * I use whatever nuts I have on hand. This last time it was hazelnuts.

We have a North-star sour cherry on its own root and it is doing quit well. The North-star does well from zone 2 -zone 8 and does well in AHS zones 2-8. It grows to 8 -10 feet. They grow fast and produce boo-coops of cherries in a few years. Both Gisela and Krymsk rootstock have many more insect and disease problems. Not only are the north-star's own roots better but there is no graft line to fail. plant a mulberry. Birds eat mulberries before they will even look at a cherry.
