Indoor Lemon Trees - Tips And How To's
Lemon meringue pie, anyone? If you enjoy cooking with lemons or even just using them to make lemonade, consider an indoor lemon tree. Indoor lemon trees are just one of many types of container fruit trees, any of which will fit comfortably in your home and will produce a bountiful fruit crop with minimal care.
While Meyer lemon trees are the most commonly available indoor lemon tree, there are several other varieties of indoor lemon trees. We're fans of the Meyer lemon tree because it's very easy care and produces several pounds of fruit per year.
While you'll likely be pleased with any indoor lemon tree, the dwarf Meyer lemon tree produces lemons which actually are shaped more like oranges. Their fruit is larger than normally produced by indoor lemon trees, with sweeter juice. They are compact enough to be shipped in one gallon containers, the smallest for any container fruit trees.
The dwarf Ponderosa lemon tree is another favorite. The most interesting aspect of this indoor lemon tree is the size of its fruit - usually 1 1/2 to 2 pounds. Another benefit of the dwarf Ponderosa lemon tree is the fragrance of its blooms. They almost serve as an air freshener, with a very fresh and pleasing aroma.
Most container fruit trees are shipped to your home directly from southern state growers. They can ship to almost any state, the only exceptions being states with agricultural restrictions. In those states, you can normally purchase container fruit trees from in state growers. Indoor lemon trees will usually produce several pounds of fruit per years, a good return for the nominal cost of an indoor lemon tree.
Indoor lemon trees and other container fruit trees are a perfect way to get someone interested in gardening, speaking from experience. Once you experience success with growing fruit, it becomes a very enjoyable hobby. Best of all, indoor lemon trees and most container fruit trees can be succesfully grown almost anywhere.
If you don't have much gardening experience, don't worry. An indoor lemon tree basically needs sunlight and water. Any special care instructions are supplied by the grower, and even these are minimal and occasional. And, an indoor fruit tree doesn't have to be kept indoors in the warm months. Feel free to take it outside on your patio or balcony.
Sunlight, water, and an occasional pruning are about all that's needed to ensure the success of an indoor lemon tree. They are easy to care for, and perfect for any level of gardener. You'll enjoy their fresh, fragrant scent and you'll particularly enjoy the several pounds of fresh fruit per year!
