Lemon Tree (Potted)

Lemon Tree brings the enjoyment of picking your own fruit at home, with fragrant white flowers before the lemons appear. It comes in a 40cm pot and stands 80 to 100cm tall.

It needs full sun for at least 6 hours a day and does well on a sunny terrace, balcony, or garden spot across the UAE, though it appreciates a little shade protection during the harshest summer afternoons.

Water it 2 to 3 times a week in summer, checking that the pot drains well so the roots do not sit in water. Feed it monthly during the growing season for the best fruit, and expect your first small harvest within a year or two.
