Lemon meringue pie, anyone? If you enjoy cooking with lemons or even just using them to make lemonade, consider an indoor lemon tree. These trees are just one of many types of container fruit trees, any of which will fit comfortably in your home and will produce a bountiful fruit crop with minimal care. Indoor lemon trees are available in several varieties. One of the hardiest is the Meyer lemon, which in and of itself is available in several varieties. The dwarf Meyer is one of our favorites, in part because of its bountiful yield of fruit. We also appreciate the ease of care, making it ideal for busy or low maintenance gardeners. No matter which variety you ultimately purchase, your tree will be shipped in a small container, possibly as small as one gallon. The dwarf Meyer will arrive at your home almost ready to bear fruit. These trees are unique because it produces lemons that are more shaped like oranges, with a juice that's sweeter than any other lemon you've likely tasted. Another common variety you might consider is unique in that it produces fruit almost two pounds in weight. This is the dwarf Ponderosa lemon tree, which is really a cross between a lemon and a citron. Another noticeable aspect of the dwarf Ponderosa is the aroma of its blooms -they're very fragrant with a fresh, clean aroma that's much more pleasant than an air freshener. Most container fruit trees are shipped to your home directly from southern state growers. They can ship to almost any state, the only exceptions being states with agricultural restrictions. In those states, you can normally purchase these trees from in state growers. With proper care, expect your tree to produce several pounds of fruit per year, quite a nice return for the nominal cost, usually $30 to $50. If someone in your family is just getting started in gardening, an indoor lemon tree is a perfect choice. They'll be encouraged to enjoy the gardening hobby more and more after experiencing success growing fruit indoors. Best of all, these compact, fragrant trees can be grown just about anywhere. When we started growing a few varieties of fruit trees in our home, we had very little gardening experience. Not to worry! For the most part, all your tree basically needs is sunlight and water. Any special care instructions are supplied by the grower, and even these are minimal and occasional. And, an indoor fruit tree doesn't have to be kept inside in the warm months. Feel free to take it outside on your patio or balcony, as doing so will help the tree grow and prosper. A bright and sunny area of your home and moderate water are all you'll need to do! On occasion, you'll need to prune the tree, which is a very easy process. Doing so will result in productive yields of fruit every year, and a healthy, vibrant indoor lemon tree that is a proud addition to your home.
Indoor lemon trees and other container fruit trees are a fragrant, easy care addition to any living space, and perfect for any level of gardener. You're invited to visit our new resource site for more care tips and additional information about Indoor Lemon Trees.
