Or it could be once upon a lemon, but at this stage it’s hard to tell unless you’re an expert.

James Earl Jones waxed poetic about this fruit, deeming it worthy of the gods: "In the wintertime, in snow country, citrus fruit was so rare, and if you got one, it was better than ambrosia." And citrus is indeed among the loveliest wintertime luxuries in California.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
