Every lemon's journey begins as a tiny seed. With optimal conditions, these seeds germinate in just 5-7 days, unfolding small leaves and roots, ready for the next big step.
As seedlings sprout, tiny green leaves break through the soil. This critical stage requires sunlight and water, transforming fragile seedlings into thriving young plants.
Transitioning from saplings, lemon trees develop thick trunks and branches. Adequate care now focuses on protecting them from cold and ensuring they're well-nourished and hydrated.
In just two years, expect the first buds that bloom into stunning flowers by spring. These self-pollinating blossoms then evolve into the lemons we eagerly anticipate.
After months of nurturing, your tree bears ripe, juicy lemons. Remember, only harvest when they're yellow! Meyer and Eureka varieties promise the best fruits for that refreshing lemonade.
