I was just looking through a mediterranean gardening book and saw a picture of this being done. Interesting. They mentioned two points; make sure your arbor has wide enough openings to let the lemons hang down for picking and whitewash the bare trunks to prevent sunscald. I thought about trying this until I saw the whitewash part. I hate that look. I guess you could also use some other sort of trunk wrap.
