Yes, You Can Grow a Lemon Tree!

Everything you need to know to choose, grow, harvest, and enjoy the juicy goodness of lemons [Food Gardening Network Preview]( November 20, 2023  [The Tart & Tangy Lemon Guide]( Everything you need to know to choose, grow, harvest, and enjoy juicy goodness of lemons [Lemon Tree] Gain full access to this premium Gardening Guide—and an entire Library of food gardening advice—with a[Charter Gold Membership in Food Gardening Network!]( Dear Gardener, They’re tart, zesty, bright and cheery. They’re in our colloquialisms (easy peasy lemon squeezy) and aphorisms (When life gives you lemons…). They’re featured in the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh and Edouard Manet. We enjoy them in our ice tea and in plenty of sweet and savory recipes. And you can grow them at home! Yes, even if you live somewhere besides Florida or southern California. It’s true that you can’t grow a lemon tree outdoors if you live in cooler climates, but Growing Lemon Trees in Containers is entirely realistic. You don’t need any special equipment or a climate-controlled isolation chamber. You don’t need magical citrus powers. If you can offer a lemon tree some good light, a comfortable temperature, healthy soil, and consistent water, you have everything you need to grow a lemon tree at home in a container. Is there a catch? Nothing too surprising. You’ll probably want a dwarf variety lemon tree, and you’ll still need to prune it to keep it at a manageable size. Unless maybe you have 24-foot ceilings and a really large container to hold a Ponderosa Lemon tree? It’s kind of an amazing tree, but I’ll let you read about it in the Tart & Tangy Lemon Guide. [Lemons] We’d probably recommend the Meyer Lemon Bush for container growing, though. They come in around five feet. Or maybe the Pink Variegated Eureka Lemon Tree, which grows to about eight-feet tall. Both varieties are happy in containers. There are some other varieties that take well to containers, too. As for soil? Water and humidity? Pruning? Read Growing Lemon Trees in Containers to get all the juicy details. Click the link below for a thirst-quenching deal!

After all, you don’t want a sour experience. Or maybe you do? Just with the fruit, not with the tree. In any case, we have to talk about Nurturing your Lemon Trees, because they can be pretty hardy, but they do need some care. More specifically, you have to watch out for suckers. They will destroy your tree. The good news is that they’re easy to deal with. As well, there are a few tricks to Winterizing your Lemon Trees. Some varieties are cold-hardy down to 20 degrees Fahrenheit, but you’ll still need to take care of things like the final harvest, water, fertilizer, and coverings. Lemon trees in containers need some care, too. You can’t just move them from outdoors to indoors without an adjustment period. Plus, there’s a little task you want to perform so your lemon tree doesn’t accidentally bring any pests inside. You can get the details in the Tart & Tangy Lemon Guide, which is yours with your membership in The Food Gardening Network. Lemony Goodness in the Kitchen Sure, lemon trees are beautiful, and they can brighten up your space, but where they really shine is in using lemons in the kitchen! The Tart & Tangy Lemon Guide has you covered. There are some classic lemon recipes, like the Versatile Lemon Vinaigrette and the Lemon Meringue Bars. But you’ll also find some long lost winners, like the Tangy Delightful Lemon Curd. This treat originated in 17th-century England and has evolved into a rich, creamy spread that’s almost like a custard. Hint: Try it on a scone!
