Overview

A remarkable, self fertile, heavy-cropping, little tree with glossy, dark green leaves, sometimes thorny stems and smooth-skinned, bright golden fruit with exceptional flavour. This clever variety is unique in that it keeps on producing flowers from spring to autumn, so it is possible to have flowers, small, un-ripened fruit as well as ready-to-pick lemons on the plant at the same time. One of the hardiest lemon trees available, it can be grown on a sunny patio in summer, but will need an unheated conservatory or greenhouse to over-winter. Please note: These are sold as standard plants, so will have a crown of foliage above an 30cm tall (approximately) clear stem. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that any plant will be sent out with buds, flowers or developing fruit.

Specifications

  • Position: a sunny patio outside, or bright conservatory in winter
  • Soil: moist but well-drained soil (specialist citrus potting mix should be used when potting up)
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Flowering period: April to September
  • Hardiness: tender (needs winter protection)
  • Toxicity: Fruit harmful to skin with sunlight/skin allergen

Care guide

Ideally grow in a pot which is easily moved from terrace to conservatory, in a specialist citrus compost. Feed every two weeks with a special citrus fertiliser (there is one for summer and another for winter), and pot on or top-dress plants in late winter. Move outside after the risk of frost has passed to a sunny, sheltered patio.

Warning

Humans: Fruit harmful to skin with sunlight/skin allergen

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
