Red Lemon (Grafted) - Fruit Plant

About Red Lemon

Red Lemon is a newer lemon variety in the citrus group, notable for often starting to fruit within a year of purchase - some plants are even delivered already carrying fruit. The fruit is medium-sized, juicy, reddish in colour, with very few seeds and a medium-sweet taste.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Full sunlight location for best results.
• Soil: Well-drained soil, pH 5.5-6.5; grows in almost all soil types.
• Climate: Tropical and subtropical; temperature range 15-35°C.

Planting & Spacing

Grows well in a pot or directly in soil, staying at a medium height. Support young plants with a bamboo stick after planting and keep the bud-joint above ground level.

Care

• Watering: Check the top 2 inches of soil for dryness before watering; water more often in hot, windy weather.
• Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once every 3 months; well-fertilised plants can fruit 2-3 times a year.
• Pruning: Little pruning needed - remove diseased or dead wood periodically.

Fruiting & Harvest

One of the faster-fruiting lemon varieties - plants can start fruiting within a year of purchase, with 2-3 fruiting cycles a year when well maintained.

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.
