Fruit Trees

Lately I've been a bit obsessed with fruit trees.  This is a bit of a problem when you live in New England and it's freezing outside from September to May, you can't just plant some in the yard.  Fortunately, for my birthday last year, my sister bought me a Kaffir Lime tree.  It was about 3" tall at the time and it has grown nicely over the past year.

I was thinking I'd like a Meyer lemon and key lime tree because they are miniature in size and I can keep them indoors so, while I was out picking up dry cleaning last Saturday afternoon, I thought I'd swing down to Connecticut and visit the greenhouse my previous tree came from {my sister was smart enough to order it online rather than drive, but I decided I wanted to pick my trees out in person}.

The greenhouse was a lot of fun to visit even if you do need a machete to make your way through it, it's so stuffed with plants.  At one point, I had to jump into this orange tree to let people pass by.

I think my fancy new trees {at 3" tall they are really only a couple of leaves} will get along quite nicely with my orchids and money tree that I bought on the side of the road.
