best growing conditions for lemon trees
A sunny location works best for a lemon tree. Lemon trees and other citrus fruits grow particularly well in tropical and subtropical climates. Sour citrus trees such as lemons don't require higher temperatures as do sweeter citrus fruits, making them a possibility even for those in cooler coastal areas.
The lemon tree (Citrus limon) grows only 10 or 20 feet tall, producing juicy, acidic yellow fruits. Many different cultivated varieties of lemon trees exist, including many popular dwarf varieties that are grown in containers.
