Yeah, Its my first Raspberry, even in green state. I would love to see the 2 plants take off and grow but they seem to die quick

I love lemons and use them in my cooking extensively.
I had a hard time finding a decent size lemon tree in my neck of the woods (Khon Kaen) and I really looked, all I could find were some small seedlings about 24" tall that i would be dead before I get any lemons.
I finally found one that's big enough just a couple of weeks ago, so I am waiting to see how it does.
I have a big Lime tree, and i was thinking of grafting lemon to it , not sure if I should do it now or wait after the rains.
Below is a picture of the lemon tree I just got. it needs a bit pruning but I wanted to wait until it got settled to being planted.

Are you sure its a lemon tree?
I was looking for some lime trees a couple of years back and found out that I needed to ask for "lemon" trees to get limes.
Seems the Thai's call limes "lemons". I showed them pictures of limes and they were excited "oh lemon" they said.
I ended up getting 2 lemon trees and they are growing limes just as they said they would.

LMAO
No not sure at all, though I had the wife explain that were not looking for limes, but lemons, He said he had plenty of lime trees at his shop, but no lemons, but he said he had two at his house and would bring them tomorrow. We went back the next day and sure enough he had two of them about 5 ft tall , one of which had a couple of lemons on it. I bought the one without the lemons because I did not think it was good transplanting a tree when it had fruit.
Now that you mention your story, I wish I had bought the one with the lemons on it LOL
Perhaps tomorrow I will go back and see if he still has it.
