What Your Lemon Tree Needs in April for It to Thrive and Produce Large, Plentiful Fruit

Fruits and leaves of a lemon tree.

Lemon trees bring instant joy to any interior, balcony or outside space. With their glossy evergreen foliage, fragrant blossom and head turning fruit, they ooze warm vacation vibes and lift spirits with their sunny charm.

Originating from North Eastern India and China, these plants thrive in subtropical climates where they receive full sun and enjoy well draining soil. Suited to growing outdoors in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11, where they can reach a spread and height of 10-15ft (3-4.5m) wide and 10-20ft (3-6m) high, they can also be successfully nurtured in a container indoors.
