Lemon tree is an evergreen reaching 3–5 m, admired for its year‑round fragrant flowers and bright yellow fruit rich in vitamin C. Requires full sun, moist yet well‑drained, slightly acidic soil and frost protection below −3 °C. Mulch, regular feeding and pruning to open the canopy encourage heavy cropping. Ideal for Mediterranean gardens or containers that overwinter indoors, providing culinary harvests and heady blossom scent.
