Lemon Hybrid Fruit Plant

About Lemon Hybrid

Lemon Hybrid (Citrus limon) is a medium-sized shrub or tree of the Rutaceae family, prized for its zesty juice (5-6% citric acid, pH around 2.2) used across cooking and household cleaning. This hybrid variant is noted for early fruiting and higher productivity compared to traditional lemon varieties.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Thrives in direct sunlight.
• Soil: Ideal pH 5.5-6.5; apply lime if soil is too acidic.
• Climate: Tropical to subtropical humid environments, 15-35°C.

Planting & Spacing

Grows well in a pot (6 inch to start) or directly in the ground wherever direct sunlight reaches.

Care

• Watering: Ensure consistent moisture without overwatering; check the top 2 inches of soil for dryness before watering.
• Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer periodically through the year, more frequently while young.
• Pruning: Minimal pruning required - just remove unhealthy branches.

Fruiting & Harvest

This hybrid typically fruits earlier than traditional lemon varieties, in around 2-3 years, and produces more fruit thereafter.

Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant, not a fruiting tree. Time to first fruit and yield vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline. Citrus leaves and peel contain oils that can mildly irritate pets if chewed in quantity - the fruit itself is fine for humans.
