- Species and varieties: Dwarf lemon trees are typically varieties of Citrus limon. Popular dwarf varieties include 'Improved Meyer' and 'Ponderosa'. These varieties are known for their compact size and ability to produce full-sized lemons.
- Hybrid or heirloom: Dwarf lemon trees can be both hybrid and heirloom. The 'Improved Meyer' is a hybrid variety, known for its sweeter and less acidic fruit compared to traditional lemons. 'Ponderosa' is often considered an heirloom variety, known for its large, thick-skinned fruit.
- Pruning and training: Dwarf lemon trees require regular pruning to maintain their shape and size. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or diseased branches, and thin out crowded areas to improve air circulation. Training the tree to a single trunk can help maintain its compact form.
- Fertilization needs: Dwarf lemon trees have moderate fertilization needs. Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for citrus trees. Apply fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during the growing season (spring through early fall). Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of fruit production.
- Hardiness zones: Dwarf lemon trees are suitable for USDA hardiness zones 9-11. They can also be grown in containers and brought indoors in cooler climates.
- Climate requirements: Dwarf lemon trees thrive in warm, sunny climates. They require full sun, ideally 8-12 hours of direct sunlight per day. They prefer temperatures between 55°F and 85°F. In cooler climates, they should be protected from frost and brought indoors during the winter months.
