Abundant fragrant flowers winter through fall. Your tree will flower and fruit even when young and has scented white flowers in spring. The fruit is ripe from November to March.

Lemon trees require full sunlight for adequate growth. There are lemon trees such as the Meyer Lemon that can be grown in a pot and then overwintered indoors.

While lemon trees can tolerate a range of soils, including poor soil, most prefer well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Lemon trees should be set slightly higher than the ground. Therefore, dig a hole somewhat shallower than the length of the root ball.
