What is it?

There is a large lemon tree in the back corner of our yard that hasn't ever produced anything. It must have been planted at least 10 years ago since I'm sure the 5 years of renters who lived here before us didn't plant it. For four years I've been fertilizing it, watering it, pruning it, generally desperately trying to get it to produce something.

Yesterday afternoon I was outside watering it and I noticed there is something growing on it.

Something large and round and green.

Something that is decidedly not a lemon.

I don't know yet if it's an orange or a grapefruit. We shall see as it ripens.

I certainly was surprised.
