Description

White flowers with a delicate purple tinge and a rich Citrus scent are followed by well shaped and good sized fruits which are juicy and with very few seeds. Fruits are great to accompany gin and tonic!

A mediumly vigorous variety which can be thorny in its early years - though this is more than made up for by the quality and quantity of fruit produced. A fully-grown lemon tree 30 feet (9 metres) in height can produce more than 500 lemons in a year. An established 6 - 8 feet (1.8 - 2.4 metres) tall specimen, approximately 10 years old, should manage around 100.

Did you know that giving a lemon as a gift means that you are passing on the wishes of longevity, purification, love and friendship and what could be nicer than that?

Recognised to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.

  • Self fertile.
  • Enjoy a sunny, sheltered position.
  • Prefer free draining, slightly acidic (pH 6 - 6.5) soil or compost.
  • Can be grown outside through the late Spring and Summer months but needs Winter frost protection.
  • Requires a minimum of 5C (41f) -and ideally 10C (50f) or higher.
  • Edible scented flowers.
  • Can be grown in pots.
  • Ensure the compost remains moist but doesn't get overly wet.
  • Never let the plant sit in water (as this will cause rot).
  • Feed the trees once a month from April until September and then every three months the rest of the year with a quality, general fertiliser.
  • Please note that citrus plants will drop leaves with extreme changes in temperature - they usually just re-leaf.
