Description

Lemon is a small citrus tree that produces yellow, sour fruits. It is suitable for container growing in cooler climates.

Product features

• Yellow, sour fruits used for juice, zest, and cooking
• Small to medium evergreen tree (10–20 feet in ground, smaller in containers)
• Fragrant white flowers (blossoms) appear in spring, some varieties bloom intermittently
• Glossy, dark green leaves with a citrus scent when crushed
• Trees grown from seed may take 5–10 years to fruit (grafted trees are faster)
• Suitable for container growing; can be moved indoors in winter
• Meyer lemon (if labeled as such) is sweeter and more cold tolerant

Sowing: Sow in spring. Extract seeds from fresh lemon; clean off pulp. Sow ¼–½ inch deep in well-draining potting mix. One seed per small pot. Full sun required.
Soil & Temperature: Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5–6.5). Use citrus or cactus mix for containers. Germination temperature 70–80°F (21–27°C).
Germination Time: 14–28 days (can be longer).
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist (not soggy) during germination and growth. Allow top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.
Additional Tips: Lemon trees from seed may not produce fruit identical to the parent. Provide at least 8 hours of direct sun. In cool climates, grow in container and move indoors before frost. Fertilize with citrus fertilizer in spring and summer. Prune to maintain desired shape and size.
