Wow, great to hear about your lemon trees, and about the Crisafulli family. Looks like a great place to order fruit. One of my neighbors in Sou’ Fooey used to winter in Florida, and several times sent us a box of citrus fruits for taking care of their house. So delicious!

The website indicates that the family had leased it out and now are taking it back over, so maybe they will restore the lost groves. Buona fortuna a tutti quanti!

Between the freezes of the mid 80's and the soaring property value on Merritt Island I'm surprised there are any clusters of citrus left. Primarily on South Merritt Island, where you can hit both rivers with a thrown stone, you will find some of the legacy mango trees surviving.

Among our plantings of not only the Ponderosa lemon and a Persian lime (also a success!) I planted cut pineapple tops from Publix. After about 18 months they produced tiny but extraordinarily sweet an flavorful fruit. This is the time of year I miss MI.
