abstract	%22Lemon Tree%22 is a folk song written by Will Holt in the late 1950s. The tune is based on the Brazilian folk song Meu limão, meu limoeiro, arranged by José Carlos Burle in 1937 and made popular by Brazilian singer Wilson Simonal. The song compares love to a lemon tree: %22Lemon tree very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet, but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.%22The song has been recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary, Chad & Jeremy, The Kingston Trio, The Seekers, Bob Marley and The Wailers, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, Sandie Shaw, and Roger Whittaker. In 1965, Trini Lopez recorded the most successful version of the song which hit number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the Billboard Middle Road Singles chart.In the 1960s, the tune was used in television advertisements for %22Lemon Pledge%22, an aerosol furniture polish. In the early 1980s it was used as the advertising jingle for an identically named lemonade beverage.The song was referenced in the Seinfeld episode %22The Phone Message%22, and in Michael Tolliver Lives by Armistead Maupin. It was performed on an episode of F Troop in which the main characters anachronistically form a rock band. It figures prominently in the Eran Riklis film, Lemon Tree (Etz Limon). The song was also referenced in Tim O'Brien's book The Things They Carried; when a fellow soldier named Curt Lemon steps on a booby trap and gets blown into a tree, it is the unsavory job of the protagonist and a squad mate to bring the pieces down. The main character is mildly shocked when his squad mate starts softly singing %22Lemon Tree%22. The song provides the title and epigraph of Andrea Levy's 1999 novel, Fruit of the Lemon.
