Lemon tree


Lemon tree (Citrus × limon)

A co-worker brought in a few little green sprouts in styrofoam cups that he had planted seeds from a commercial lemon into. This is two years later. I keep trimming it back, as it tends to grow too tall for a houseplant, and it is too cold outside for it to overwinter.

Your lemon looks very healthy. I enjoy starting plants like this. I recently potted an avocado and the leaves are just starting to form. Very enjoyable to watch them grow.

Beat me to it Mike!. avocadoes and Grapefruit, too. You obviously give your plants a lot of TLC...so continue to do so...and give your lemon as much sun as you can manage...hope it blooms for you...they smell wonderful.
