Citrus x limon (Lemon)

Citrus x limon, commonly known as the Lemon Tree, is a highly decorative evergreen tree prized for its fragrant flowers, glossy foliage, and zesty fruit. Ideal for container planting, patio gardens, and Mediterranean-style landscapes, this citrus tree brings year-round interest and a touch of the Mediterranean to any outdoor or indoor space. It typically reaches an ultimate height of 2–3 metres when grown in a container and up to 6 metres in the ground.

Thriving in well-drained soils, including loam, sand, and chalk, Citrus x limon flourishes in full sun and benefits from a sheltered position. It is well-suited to UK gardens when placed in a conservatory, greenhouse, or sunny patio during cooler months. Regular feeding and pruning ensure optimal fruit production and a healthy, compact form.

This versatile citrus tree is perfect for container gardening, edible landscapes, and ornamental planting. Its fragrant white blossoms and vibrant yellow fruit make it a standout feature in any setting.
