Details
This Lemon tree (Citrus limon) has an abundance of lush foliage. The large Lemon tree has a crop of ripening fruit on its branches. The small Lemon tree will blossom and fruit in the next year or so, once it has become more established.
A card with your personal message, the story of the Lemon tree's ancient symbolism and a full care guide is also enclosed with your gift. Add a personalised brass heart, star or plaque (see images) engraved with your message so this special gift is always remembered.
This Lemon tree will enjoy being lightly pruned in early spring and may reach a height of 2 metres in 10 years, if allowed to grow naturally.
Symbolism
In ancient mythology a Lemon tree symbolises good health and future success.
Tree Care
Your Lemon tree will happily grow in its organic pot for the next few weeks, just place it on a sunny windowsill or in a cool conservatory. Citrus trees appreciate being drenched with water only when the soil is completely dry. We have added organic nutrients to your tree’s compost to create the perfect balance of nourishment. This organic goodness will release into the soil to ensure your tree continues to flourish.
Plant your Lemon tree (still in its organic pot so the roots are not disturbed) in a large flower pot with holes, so excess water can drain away. Your Lemon tree will thrive in a bright, cool room, conservatory or greenhouse all year.
The Present Tree's Organic Plant Care Kit is packed with all the health-boosting goodness suitable for your Lemon tree. Click here for more details.
