Tell Me More...
From the intoxicating scent of its flowers to the satisfaction of picking home-grown fruit, there is much pleasure to be had from growing your own lemon tree. Citrus limon 'Lemon' is a self-fertile species produces flowers from spring until autumn, meaning it is possible to have fragrant blooms and fruit (in varying stages of maturity) on the tree at the same time. In our UK climate lemons are best grown in a container. As well as enabling indoor overwintering, this has the added benefit of restricting growth to a manageable size. During warmer months, locate Citrus limon 'Lemon' in a sunny, sheltered spot outside, watering freely (ideally with rainwater). During colder months, move to a cool or temperate greenhouse or conservatory, and water sparingly. Citruses are hungry, and require regular feeding with a specialist citrus feed (there is a summer and a winter type). Citrus limon 'Lemon' is a tender, evergreen tree able to withstand temperatures of no less than 1 C. If left unpruned and given unrestricted growth plants reach a height of 1.8m and a spread of 1.5m.
