Yeow. Lemon Zest is rough.

 Lemon Zest
Poor Lemon Zest. Its seen better days. I scraped, with my box cutter, at part of the bark above and saw that it was still green underneath, so that gives me hope that it might have a remote chance of living. I will prune it down. There was some rot or damage at the base of the trunk. I carved and scraped as much as I thought I should, with my box cutter. I think its a patch of dead wood. not sure. Didn't see any green underneath as I scrapped away the blackened bark. I must admit, this is the crappy part about mail-order; you don't get to pick and choose the plant you want to bring home.

Edward's new growth makes me happy.
