Beautiful broadleaf evergreen Ponderosa Lemon Tree (Citrus x limon 'Ponderosa') produces large yellow fruit reminiscent of its Pomelo parentage while the flavor is all Lemon! Each fruit can be as large as a grapefruit and feature a pale yellow, thick bumpy rind that offers bountiful zest!
The clouds of fragrant white flowers and the citrusy scent of the leaves and fruit make this ornamental a very fragrant showpiece! You’ll certainly wish to keep this tree close so you can enjoy its perfume! Standing out among the glossy foliage, the green to yellow fruit hang heavy once ripe.
Though they can take their time ripening, you’ll enjoy a long harvest season and can take your time using your crop for all your favorite recipes! Both sweet and savory dishes, jelly and preserves, drinks and flavoring, or as garnish and zest, you’ll have a lot of lemon flavor to go around!
Planting and Application:
These are mid-sized trees that can be maintained smaller for small space gardens or patio planters, or let grow into glorious shade trees and accents! Plant one outside a frequently passed window or by a favorite outdoor chair to always enjoy the fragrance, shade, or watch your developing fruit as they form!
Plant as a tropical houseplant in a bright sunny window or bright porch, enabling cold climate gardeners to enjoy these great trees by bringing them indoors for the winter.
