The everyday citrus
Grown throughout the Mediterranean basin, the Lemon Tree reflowers several times a year, carrying buds, blossom and fruit at different stages simultaneously.
Perfectly suited to a large pot on a terrace, it is the ideal fruit tree for small urban spaces in mild climates.
"One lemon tree in the garden, and the kitchen never lacks a thing."

Styling Tip 02
Regular Watering
Keep the soil fresh without waterlogging; in a pot, water as soon as the surface dries.

Styling Tip 03
Citrus Feed
Feed with a dedicated citrus fertilizer from spring to autumn: it is a hungry tree.
