a pic of the whole tree and a close up pic of the trunk and leaves would help to id it.

We are between two houses while the remodel is going on the other, but will be back there Monday, and I'll take photos!

Every time we work in the yard (1.4 acres), we discover something new! Gardener ID'd 2 seedling guava trees! It might be years before they fruit, but the gophers don't seem to like them, so it's good!!

I'll post photos next week. I'm sure it's citrus! Just hoping it fruits! Beats me while the others have rotting fruit, hanging fruit, and buds, but not this one! That vine might have choked it! But the vine has met it's master!!

Here is the photo. I sent this to myself prior to the unfortunate loss of my cell phone 2 nights ago. I only have this photo, and no more cell phone until my contract expires in late April.

Please disregard all the junk in front of the tree. Our irrigation contractor put all that stuff there.

I have since pruned out all the dead wood. This tree has huge thorns, and I know it bears, because there was an old dried up piece of fruit resting between a couple woody branches. The blossoms are white, not purple based.

The leaves smell heavenly lemon!

Hopefully you can see this photo better. it does show the leaves, blossoms and some trunk or older branches.
