Nick and Liz Swain bought a cottage in Barton in 2006. I met them in February this year and heard the story of the Meyer lemon tree. Last week, I was invited to see the 70-year-old tree which is thriving and laden with fruit. The Swains wonder if it is Canberra's first Meyer lemon tree - if you know of another with similar historic interest, please email me at [email protected].
Nick, who is secretary of the Canberra and District Historical Society, wrote a story about the tree in the society's newsletter last December.
