The newest member of our family

Not to worry - Dr. Boy won't let me get another pet. But, one of the porters was hauling this citrus tree to the garbage and offered it to Dr. Boy. They've been buddies for a while, trading samples of their favorite local beers and tales of ruptured discs.

We suspect it's a lime tree, but I think oranges are green when they are this small too.

Dr. Boy made a point that citrus trees that live alone in Manhattan living rooms do not often bear fruit. So, any thoughts on how to knock up my tree the next time it blooms would be much appreciated. For now it needs a new pot, new soil, some Miracle Gro and lots of prayers that it wasn't pitched because it was infested.

XOXO,
