Oh, I love it!
Just yesterday I sighted a mixed citrus tree like that in someone's backyard here in the Negev, and I stood looking in awe.
It is lovely to see and even lovelier to smell!
Yes indeed! The citrus trees are starting to bloom now in my village, and I stop and stand under each one, intoxicated by the smell.
