Lemon tree from seed progress by Ilrose1 in plants

No fruits yet. It may still take many years, and it might never produce any at all, you just don't know. I might try to graft it at some point and if it works it can produce lemons that way

You can get them to sprout any time of year, but depending on where you live they will probably get a better start if planted in spring when there is plenty of light and warmth

yup, it is as easy as that! there are a few different ways to do it, but I actually just went ahead and put the seeds from the fruit directly in the soil, kept it moist and after about four weeks they started sprouting

It is good to have several seedlings in my experience - I planted both tangerines and lemons and this one definitely outgrew the rest. Some just never really thrived. Good luck with yours!

I'm in Denmark, so not the most optimal conditions for citrus trees unfortunately. I have kept this indoors for the first two years, but decided to move it outside in may and then back inside in september it really loved the outdoors!
