What to do with my Lemon Tree
-
Teresa Watkins on Feb 20, 2014Moving your lemon tree into a planter is a smart move and may even be able to stay in the container long-term. Lemon trees are easily kept small. Just remember to see that it gets water consistantly (not overwatering) and depending on size of container and tree, add new soil every few years. You can keep it in the container forever by noticing when it gets root bound, lifting it out, cutting a third of the roots off, and adding new soil.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Feb 21, 2014I agree with Teresa that it could be happy for a long time in a large container. You want to put it where it will get as close to all-day sun as you can provide.

Kala Professional Restoration services on Feb 21, 2014Keeping the lemon tree in a planter will be a good idea as you will be able to move it to the place where you think it will fit the most and also get plenty of sunlight.Lemon trees can easily be trimmed and kept small as it will make it easy for you to maintain it,and if you want you could later find a place in the ground to plant it,when you are done with all the renovations.Helpful Reply

Judith Jordan on Aug 15, 2015I'm looking at what could potentially be a sheltered corner to the right of your front door and wondering how "east" it faces and how much sun it gets each day and where your prevailing winds come from, because that could be a beautiful spot for the lemon tree.Helpful Reply
