We have a wonderful Meyer lemon tree growing -- the fruit and juice is pretty good -- but the rinds of the lemons smell like chemicals. We thought perhaps they needed to ripen more, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I really would love to be able to use the rinds, but they have a horrible taste, almost as if they were toxic. Any ideas about what might be happening?
Our area isn't terribly polluted, and the other citrus trees seem fine, including a very small dwarf lemon tree.
