lemon trees

Sour fruit sources

Lemon trees are citrus trees that produce lemons—small evergreens with glossy leaves, fragrant white blossoms, and yellow fruit.

They thrive in warm climates and are grown commercially and in home gardens.

The phrase sometimes appears figuratively in discussions of making the best of circumstances: When life gives you lemon trees, make lemonade.
