Tree ID # 9

[NickfromWI]

I saw a few of these in the City of Orange the other day. Any ideas what it is?

Here's a closer look at the leaves and fruit

A clearer picture of leaves and fruit would be helpful.

 

[Mark Chisholm]

Maybe a lemon tree? Hmmmm?

 

[lizpaton2]

Regarding the tree on 1100 N Block of Lemon St, it could be an Acacia species. Not a blackwood acacia, perhaps a retinodes or a salicina.

 

[Leon]

If the out of focus "yellow orb" in the photo is a flower instead of a fruit, than I would agree that it might be an acacia. Acacia was my first guess until I saw that Nick had called the out of focus yellow thingy a fruit. All the acacias I know of have pods, not round fruit.

I need a gif of a little guy slapping his forehead. I see these trees every day at work. I even climbed one a couple of weeks ago. I don't know how I didn't recognize them. Pierre gets it again!

Hey Leon,
I was just guessing, but it looks like a pretty good guess.
One time I could not id a camellia eventhough I have 3 in the yard.
