Description

If you're looking for a Christmas gift that truly stands out, this living lemon tree hits the sweet spot. It's decorative, productive and a real talking point, not to mention delightfully fragrant.

Supplied already wrapped in a hessian sack and tied with a festive red satin bow, this citrus tree makes a charming present straight out of the box. No faff, no fuss, just an extraordinary gift ready to go.

But it's what this tree can do that really makes it special. From spring, the branches produce elegant white flowers with a heavenly citrus scent. These blooms are followed by small green fruits that slowly swell into juicy yellow lemons. Pick them and enjoy homegrown flavour in drinks, desserts and dressings, a real treat for foodies and gardeners alike.

Because it's evergreen, it looks great all year round, no dropping leaves or seasonal mess, and it grows happily in a pot. That makes it ideal for balconies, patios, and even a sunny windowsill indoors. It's surprisingly low-maintenance too, needing just regular watering, an occasional feed, and protection from frost by bringing it into shelter.

This isn't just a pretty plant. It�s a whole experience, and it's a gift that will keep on giving. Whether you're buying for a keen gardener or someone who's never grown a thing before, this lemon tree is easy to enjoy and adds a burst of green goodness to any space.

Supplied as an established plant, around 80cm tall, in a 4 litre pot. Gift wrapped in a brown hessian bag with a red satin bow, ready to gift.

Top Tips

For best results, bring indoors to cool area for winter.

Feed with specialist feed every month in spring and summer growth - they are hungry fellows.

Care Information

The sweetly fragrant blossom appears in the late spring and can sometimes continue to flower sporadically over the rest of the year. Especially in late winter, and fruit ripens up to 12 months later - so plants are often in flower and fruiting at the same time.
Citrus tend not to thrive in centrally heated homes, so from mid-Jun to late September, give plants a treat and transfer them outside to make the most of the available sunshine - but remember they are not frost tolerant so will need bringing under cover if cold nights threaten.
In summer, water freely - ideally with rainwater, while in winter you can reduce the amount - allowing the surface to partially dry out before watering again. Always allow excess water to drain away.
Overwatering in winter is a common problem with citrus trees, so try to keep them on the dry side.
Only minimal pruning is required to reshape or remove dead or damaged shoots.
