The Citrus Lemon Tree with Hessian Gift Wrap is a real, fruiting lemon tree that arrives dressed and ready to present. It comes in a 12 cm pot wrapped in hessian and adds a delightful Mediterranean touch to your home in winter and garden in summer.

Citrus lemons need plenty of light and will do well on a well-lit windowsill through the colder months, then outside in a sunny spot during summer. The young leaves open reddish before turning dark green, while mildly fragrant flowers emerge from reddish buds. Small lemons follow the flowers, slowly developing into ripe fruit.

  • Edible lemons: pick and use the fruit once it's ripe
  • Scented flowers: mildly fragrant blossom followed by developing fruit
  • Indoors and out: keep it in a well-lit spot indoors during the colder months and move it outside in summer
  • Gift ready: a growing gift for birthdays, Christmas and other celebrations
  • Mind the thorns: the twigs often carry sharp thorns

Please note: out of season, your lemon tree may arrive without any fruit on it.

As this is a natural product, each tree is individual and may show variation in shape, height and the number of flowers or fruit. Young lemons are usually green and turn yellow as they ripen.

Watering Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist while the plant establishes. Once established, water during prolonged dry periods rather than little and often, allowing the soil to drain between waterings. Container-grown plants should be checked more frequently in warm or windy weather.

Best Growing Conditions Grow in a position with good natural light in fertile loam. Choose a position with good airflow and enough space for the plant to reach its mature size. Protect from hard frost and cold, drying winds, especially while young or when grown in containers.

How do I care for a potted lemon tree?

Give your lemon tree plenty of light and place it on a well-lit windowsill while indoors. Allow the compost to dry out about 3 inches (around 7cm) deep before watering, but never let it dry out completely. Feed weekly with a citrus fertiliser during spring and summer and keep the tree away from radiators and cold draughts.

Is a lemon tree safe for pets?

If you have pets, it is sensible to keep your lemon tree out of their reach. Cats Protection advises that eating citrus fruit can cause stomach upset, vomiting and diarrhoea in cats, and citrus essential oils are toxic to cats. If you think your pet has eaten something that may be harmful, contact your vet for advice.

What size is this lemon tree?

It's supplied in a 12cm pot and wrapped in hessian, which makes it a neat size for a windowsill, desk or kitchen worktop. As it grows, move it into a larger pot, so it has room to keep developing.

When does a lemon tree flower and produce fruit?

Our lemon tree can produce blossoms from late spring through to the end of the year. Small lemons develop from the flowers and can take around 4–6 months to reach full size, with fruit ripening from late summer through to the end of the year.

Can I keep my lemon tree outside?

Yes, in summer. Move it to a sunny, sheltered spot once the weather is warm, which can be as late as mid-June. In autumn, keep it in shade for two to three weeks, then bring it back in before the frosts.

Will my lemon tree arrive with fruit?

Out of season, it may arrive without any. Lemon trees can carry flowers and developing fruit, and the fruit takes several months to reach full size. Once ripe, the lemons can remain on the tree for several months while retaining their flavour, so they can be picked as needed.

Top tip

Mulch around the root zone each spring to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch clear of the trunk. Protect it from frost and consider moving container-grown plants to a sheltered, frost-free position for winter.
