A Ponderosa Lemon tree, with its large fruit and shrub-like appearance, is perfect for growing indoors or on a patio or deck. Large, evergreen leaves that emit a lemony scent when bruised or broken are the perfect backdrop for fragrant white flowers tinged with purple. Thick, lumpy, yellow-skinned fruit can grow to almost the size of a grapefruit. Fruit is borne throughout the year, and often fruit and flowers can be found on the tree at the same time. Ripe fruit will hold onto the tree for several months.
Growing Instructions, Ponderosa lemon trees are great indoor and outdoor patio plants, For best results, within 4-6 weeks of receiving your tree, transplant it into a larger pot that drains well and is approximately 8-12″ in diameter to give the roots room to grow, In the spring move your potted tree outdoors into full sun when the threat of frost is past, Bring it back indoors in the fall before the frost season begins, Fertilize regularly with high nitrogen formula, 5-3-3 ratio, Water thoroughly while letting the surface soil dry between watering, Do not overwater, Prune by pinching back the tips of new growth toward the interior branches, Remove any new growth or stems near the soil.
