RE: An old fighting girlfriend, or how to cook kittens for dinner
Thank you for all the information, @borodaus!
I haven't spotted lemon branches or trees for sale.
I'll seed my own herbs next time. :)
Meanwhile, daughter is in mourning over the little cypress tree I bought her before Christmas. It looks green but it's dry and brittle. I've been pruning it today and can find no live stems on it. Poor little tree. I'd hoped to plant it outdoors and see it reach 15 feet... maybe next year!
@carolkean Here's Carol food for thought :)

Alas, I don’t know about cypress, but maybe it’s worth watering it, for good luck, and maybe luck will smile at you and the tree will be restored?)
I've been trying to get the soil dried out - daughter brought it home a week ago, and it was waterlogged. She kept the plant too close to her radiator since December 1. By Feb. 15, all the little branches were dry and brown and brittle. I might look for a replacement and let her believe she didn't kill it... thanks for the suggestions. I've kept clipping in search of signs of life, but it's all dry and brown. Poor little tree.
