If you are planting a lemon tree I'd suggest going with a Meyer Lemon. It's a little sweeter but has more uses and generally produces more lemons in a year while also maintaining a more compact growth size. I got a small one for $28 at Home Depot last year. If it dies I think I might splurge and pay the nursery a few hundred bucks for a more mature and fruit ready lemon tree though.

Thanks for the tip.
Nice to see the nicer side of your bi-polar self.
