The lemon Orchard is a short story written by Alex la Guma in 1962.

Its themes revolve around the concept of racial descrimination in South Africa at that time. It is a story that uses the anonamity of its characters to generalize the idea of segregation and abuse colored people had to suffer in that time.

It takes place in a lemon orchard at night. the colored man in the story is flanked by four men who physically and verbally abuse him in the hope that he will provoke them into having good reason to kill him.

the story is left open ended and it laves the reader to decide what happened to the man.
