Title: Half Lemon half Orange
Post by: Old Daffodil on January 15, 2010, 17:27:30 PM: There is a tree in the garden of one of the markets opposite the Morning Star in Ovacik and it is half lemon and half orange on the same tree.

The tree is covered in fruit and the owner even invited me into the garden and gave me some of the oranges.
