Description

Enjoy homegrown treats bursting with Mediterranean style, perfect for the home and garden. Ornate and stylish, this lemon tree produces fruit packed with vitamin C.

Fragrant springtime blossom is soon followed by small lemons, which quickly swell into ripe and juicy fruits. Pick from late summer to the end of the year. Then, within a year or so of planting, this variety will be ready to produce full-sized fruit.

Ensure yearly crops of lemons by keeping the tree potted and in a sunny, yet sheltered, position. Protect from frost during winter, either by bringing indoors into a conservatory, or by covering with a plant cosy.

We even do all the gift wrapping for you. Supplied wrapped in a brown hessian bag with a green fabric bow. The plant will be established and potted in a 5-6L pot, approximately 70-90cm tall.

Top Tips

For best results, bring indoors to cool area for winter.

Feed with specialist feed every month in spring and summer growth - they are hungry fellows.

Care Information

The sweetly fragrant blossom appears in the late spring and can sometimes continue to flower sporadically over the rest of the year. Especially in late winter, and fruit ripens up to 12 months later - so plants are often in flower and fruiting at the same time.
Citrus tend not to thrive in centrally heated homes, so from mid-Jun to late September, give plants a treat and transfer them outside to make the most of the available sunshine - but remember they are not frost tolerant so will need bringing under cover if cold nights threaten.
In summer, water freely - ideally with rainwater, while in winter you can reduce the amount - allowing the surface to partially dry out before watering again. Always allow excess water to drain away.
Overwatering in winter is a common problem with citrus trees, so try to keep them on the dry side.
Only minimal pruning is required to reshape or remove dead or damaged shoots.
