Ok I need help, I’m really new to edible plant growing. My husband’s grandfather gave us a lot of plants he started from seeds but didn’t remember to label them. I am so lost trying to figure out what is what here.

This one looks like a citrus tree of some sort.

#### Crystal replied on 2025-06-08

He said he couldn’t remember if it was lemon or orange, I think limes have the little thorns right?

#### LadyTenorJD replied on 2025-06-11

My lime tree doesn’t have thorns!

Hi have you tried using Planta and scanning the plants? It’s helped me find out info of many plants.

#### Crystal replied on 2025-06-11

I did and it wasn’t giving me some plants that weren’t edible and he said he planted everything from stuff they ate so I have no clue

#### Van replied on 2025-06-11

That’s a bummer! I wish I was more help.

Maybe you can ask the Planta experts to help identify? If they can’t help, maybe a local plant store can?
