I found a new tree called the Cocktail Tree. It’s a citrus tree that produces both lemons and limes. It does need a tropical or sub-tropical climate to grow in. Aren’t we lucky to be in one of those?
It is a beautiful & breezy 78 degrees in my back yard.

This one is blooming and smells heavenly.

The Cocktail Tree- Only for Florida!
Toni as you tell of your 78 degrees I must admit I am a tad envious. The Cocktail Tree is a new one on me. Always enjoy learning of new things from around this great land we call America! Thanks for sharing and make it a great day in Florida my friend.
Toni - oddly enough, we can grow them in Phoenix, too! We have a ton of citrus orchards out here. They just need regular water and they'll flourish!
John - it is a gorgeous day. I was surprised to see it too.
Sharon - wow, it must need a ton of water there; we get lots of that from Ma Nature.
How fun! You can make fresh lemonade or slice up the lemons and limes and add them to your favorite drink.
Toni, That sounds like a fun tree to have in your yard! The weather really sounds enticing!
Toni,
Having a cocktail tree in your backyard sound sreally nice; one can only imagine the aroma on a breezy day. Enjoy and thanks for introducing us the the cocktail tree , its something for me to use on trivia night.

Toni,
I am amazed by a tree that grows two types of citrus. And it is much prettier than the regular lemon/lime tree.
We have pouring rain here, good for life in So Cal and the mountains, happy Monday. A
Deven - yes, another benefit of living in Florida :)
Tony - The weather has been wonderful for days. We were at a car show yesterday-it was about 77-78. Nice!
Michelle - it is like a sweet perfume.
Bob - and a Happy Chinese New Year to you, my friend!
Alexandra - It is prettier and the flowers are different from the others. We need rain here too.
Toni~ Guess I won't be seeing any cocktail trees in my beautiful state of Colorado! No tropical weather here! I have family in Florida and they love to entertain. Maybe I should get them a cocktail tree the next time I'm in town for a visit.
that would be a great gift, Donna. Next time you're in town-be sure to let me know.
Lemons and Limes...Wow! A great photo to go along with your blog.
A Cocktail tree? Lemons & Limes, maybe the tree had tooooooo many Cocktails.

Toni- when we moved to FL 20+ years ago our neighbor kept telling us she had a lemon-lime tree. We, of course, thought she was nuts! Well, apologies to her. Tell me you have one in your back yard!!!!
Come on, Toni. Don't rub it in. It's a balmy 35 here in CT. Can't complain, though. Better than 15 or less. I'd LOVE to have one of those trees. Guess I have to move there for that! Enjoy!
Howdy and evening Toni
Toni my friend, your photo sure is mighty fine looking, just like all the photos which you post for folks to enjoy siting their eyes upon. The Cocktail Tree sure sounds mighty cool, and it sure does look mighty fine.
Have a good one

What a great idea, a cocktail tree! And the photo is lovely. There is nothing like the smell of orange blossoms .. I assume lemon and lime blossoms are similar in fragrance?
Lemons and Limes as cocktail trees. How funny! But seriously, I use a copious amount of lemons and limes in my cooking, and thought about planting one of each, just this weekend! Nice photo, Toni!
Toni ....That's a great looking tree! I can't wait for Spring ....have a great day in FL!
Carl & Ceil - maybe..... BTW what happened to your picture again?
Kathy - no, I don't, we don't have room for one :(
Barbara - Brrrr that's way too cold for me. But you're right--could be worse.
Dale - it is kind of a pretty tree. Dark, shiney leaves and cute little flowers.
Dianne - I think this one is much prettier than the orange blossoms- and heavier.
Myrl - I do too; love fresh citrus fruits.
Rob - thanks-you too.
Toni, it sure has been beautiful lately around here. I've never heard of a "cocktail" tree but it sounds good to me! My only question is, can it be shaken? :-)
sure, Silvia, just not stirred :)
