Mediterranean Sweet Lemon Tree

Description

Confusingly this is sometimes known as the Sweet Lemon or the Sweet Lime!

Very popular in Italy, this Citrus produces rounded fruits of a light orange yellow colour.

The flesh is greenish in colour and has a slightly sweet rather than acidic flavour - as does the juice.

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

• Self fertile.
• Like a sunny, sheltered position.
• Prefer free draining, slightly acidic (pH 6 - 6.5) soil.
• Can be grown outside through the Spring and Summer months but needs frost protection.
• Requires a minimum of 41F (5C)and ideally 50F (10C)or higher.
• Please note that citrus plants will drop leaves with extreme changes in temperature - they usually just re-leaf.
• Edible flowers.
• Perfumed 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.
• Any pruning that is required is best done late Autumn when the tree is dormant.
