Citrus limon

Citrus limon: Characteristics and Care

The Citrus limon, popularly known as the lemon tree, is a perennial tree native to Asia, cultivated for centuries in the Mediterranean basin. It is distinguished by its aromatic dark green foliage and highly fragrant white flowers, followed by its characteristic yellow, acidic, and juicy fruits.

Its virtually continuous flowering and ability to bear fruit for much of the year make it a highly valued option for ornamental gardens, orchards, and patios, whether planted directly in the ground or in large containers.

It prefers temperate climates and protection from frost; it tolerates heat well and benefits from regular watering, especially during flowering and fruiting.

At Ornacom, we directly cultivate each specimen, ensuring a balanced habit and abundant fruiting from the first years of planting.
