Planting & Care
Lemon trees do best in well-draining soil and will not tolerate standing in water. Mound or plant in raised beds if poor drainage is suspected. Mulching helps retain moisture and helps to stabilize the soil temperature during the hot summer months. Requires full sun, 8 - 12 hours a day. Lemon trees are fast-growing and will reach 20' outdoors but can easily be kept 7' - 10' with regular pruning. All Citrus make excellent container plants that can moved to a protected location during the winter in colder climates. The Eureka will tolerate occasional light frost.
