Citrus - Lemon (CPN1) LOTS A LEMONS

Common Name: Lots A' Lemons

Description: Citrus limon 'Lots A' Lemons' is a dwarf variety of the Meyer lemon, specifically cultivated for compact growth, making it ideal for small gardens, patios, and balconies. This evergreen tree produces full-sized, juicy lemons with a naturally sweet flavor, characteristic of the Meyer variety. The plant showcases lush green foliage and fragrant white blossoms, adding ornamental value. In Melbourne's climate, 'Lots A' Lemons' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Regular watering is essential, especially during the first growing season, to establish a deep root system. Applying a citrus-specific fertilizer during the growing season enhances fruit production. Pruning is minimal due to its dwarf nature but can be done to maintain shape and remove any dead or crossing branches. This variety is well-suited for container growing, allowing for mobility and versatility in placement.
