Title: Wild lemon or lime Post by: Mr. HG on October 21, 2008, 07:20:33 am (http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp232/Desni8/IMG_0271.jpg) Realdogs and I went hunting Sunday a new spot the landowner couldn't take anymore so we went we caught 2 small shoats and found a place on the creek that had hundreds of this kinds of trees with this kind of fruit on it. The land owner says that Sam Houston traveled down this creek toward cypress so maybe they brought this fruit with them. Anyway I took it home and I'm doing some research with my county agent . When you smell it smells like a citrus fruit lemon or lime.That made the hunt for me.Took Scotts older pup she did good didn't bay it was to much for her or maybe I scared the you know what out of her when I shoot the other day but she hunted and did a whole lot we liked. I got to figure out how to get picture off my phone to my photobucket to send to this web page.

they called em "Jesus Trees" I know I have called them a few other things before, too.

I've seen lemons the size of man's head before, no kidding. The only thing that holds true for them all is they're sour as all get out. I've never found any wild citrus that you could eat. I would like to know how some of them got there though...
