Indoor Lemon Trees - A Fragrant Addition To Your Home
Jim Hofman
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.
Another indoor lemon tree is unique in that it produces fruit almost two pounds in weight. This is the dwarf Ponderosa lemon tree, which is really a cross between a lemon and a citron. Another noticeable aspect of the dwarf Ponderosa lemon tree is the aroma of its blooms - they're very fragrant with a fresh, clean aroma.
When you purchase a container fruit tree, the grower will ship your tree very close to fruiting age. That means you'll be able to enjoy your first fruit yield within a few weeks of arrival at your home. With proper care, an indoor lemon tree will yield several pounds of fruit per year. Also, indoor lemon trees are extremely affordable, usually ranging from $30 to $50.
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.
Indoor lemon trees are so easy to grow that even someone with no gardening experience whatsoever should be successful. With few exceptions, there isn't much more to growing an indoor lemon tree other than plenty of sunlight and watering every 10 days or so. You can also place your indoor lemon tree outdoors during the warmer months - they'll love it!
Usually, hours of sunlight and moderate water are all you'll need to do. On occasion, you'll need to prune the tree, which is a very easy process. Doing so will result in productive yields of fruit every year, and a healthy, vibrant indoor lemon tree that is a proud addition to your home.
