Lemon trees adore hot, summer days, and a few key care tasks this month will keep them in top shape so you can continue to enjoy their fragrant flowers and fruits. I cared for a large citrus collection as a professional horticulturist, and here are my picks for what to do with a lemon tree in July.
The citrus trees grow strongly during the summer, and all that active growth means watering and feeding are crucial. You also need to keep a close eye on developing fruits and monitor for summer pests. I spent many hours watering, fertilizing, and monitoring the trees in summer, and the good news is that none of these tasks are difficult.
