Dwarf Orange Tree

When our kids were born I would buy a plant for the Mrs. Usually an unusual one. Well the only one that has survived was Electric Glass's younger sister. This is a dwarf orange tree. It has had fruit on it at least once a year for more then 21 years. I can't say how much more then 21 because I do not want to incur the ire of my daughter. It has survived 7 moves with one of them of 450 miles. This is the latest blossum for another crop of oranges. The smell great but taste like a bitter lemon.

This is kind of an amazingly strong plant. Kind of like life in general. "Takes a licking and keeps on ticking."
