Add a touch of freshness to your outdoor space with the Citrus Lemon Seeds. These seeds are carefully selected for their ability to produce lemon trees in temperate climates during the summer season. With their succulent plant type and outdoor use, these seeds are suitable for starting your own citrus garden.
Species and varieties: Citrus limon, commonly known as lemon, belongs to the Rutaceae family. Popular varieties include Eureka, Lisbon, and Meyer lemons.
Hybrid or heirloom: Lemon seeds can be both hybrid and heirloom. Meyer lemons are a hybrid variety, while Eureka and Lisbon are more traditional heirloom varieties.
Pruning and training: Lemon trees benefit from regular pruning to maintain shape and remove dead or diseased branches. Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring. Training young trees to a central leader structure can help in better fruit production.
Fertilization needs: Lemon trees require regular fertilization with a balanced fertilizer high in nitrogen. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring through summer). Organic options like compost or well-rotted manure can also be beneficial.
Hardiness zones: Lemon trees thrive in USDA hardiness zones 9-11.
Climate requirements: Lemons require a warm, subtropical to tropical climate. They need full sun exposure and are sensitive to frost. Ideal temperatures range from 70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C).
