lemon tree
The lemon tree is a perennial fruit tree. Its cultivation was not developed in the West until after the Arab conquest of Spain, spreading then all along the Mediterranean coast where it is widely cultivated, due to the mild climate, for domestic and export consumption. Its fruit has a high vitamin C content.
dimensions & properties
It is a very suitable plant for different outdoor spaces: gardens, terraces, balconies and patios, but you can also have it indoors at home or in a greenhouse.
care tips
The lemon tree loves the Mediterranean climate and it really is not the toughest tree we know.Therefore, if you have it in a pot, in winter you will have to put it at home during the days when it freezes or is very cold.
You might have to fertilize your tree from March to September. Lemons tend to need quite a bit of macro and micro nutrient fertilizer.
It is a plant that usually suffers from deficiencies, especially magnesium and zinc.
The citrus tree will have to be watered too, the soil must be moist, but it should not be puddled. Water it a little bit in the summer every day and in less hot times twice a week. We also recommend cleaning pruning once a year in February.
