£47.99
- A lovely Mediterranean plant with glossy pointed leaves. Lovely fragrant flowers are followed by the classic yellow fruit. Lemon trees produce lovely, white, fragrant flowers that may appear all year round, but more profusely during late winter. The fruit ripens in around 12 months, so trees may be in flower and fruit at the same time. They are self-fertile, so you will only need to grow one tree to get fruit. Citrus are not hardy in Britain but can be grown in pots outdoors in summer and brought inside for winter.
