Couple cultivates giant lemons in Baytown yard
George and Maria Saphos say a lemon tree planted two years ago on St. Andrews Street has grown remarkably large with lemons weighing as much as 2.10 pounds. They use triple 13 fertilizer and stem-rooting tricks to propagate new trees, hoping to share plants with family, neighbors, and ultimately expand a Baytown market. They live in the Country Club subdivision and have three grandchildren.
