Lemons grow on trees in southern and tropical climates.

While they grow in a variety of poor soil conditions, they are very temperature sensitive.

Cold weather and lemon trees do not mix well. A Florida freeze wiped out the lemon crop in the nineteenth centery and today only California and Arizona produce commercial lemons.

With the exception of lemonade, most people consider lemons as flavor enhancers rather than solo foods. On average, Americans eat 7.2 pounds of lemons per year.
