My Santa Teresa lemons are not much different from common lemons. They ripen over a long period of time and can hang on the tree for many months without breaking down. This is a great trait because lemon trees don't usually fruit year round in Phoenix AZ like they do elsewhere. They bloom in the spring and ripen in the winter.My Meyer lemons all ripen within a month and starts to rot or dry up a month after that, so Santa Teresa is more useful here in Phoenix.
