Comparing Lemon Tree varieties — notes from growing several

I've grown several varieties within the Lemon Tree family and have some observations to share. dual ornamental and productive value in a garden varies noticeably between them, more than catalogue descriptions suggest. The care fundamentals are shared — mulching around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds applies across all of them.

biennial bearing producing a heavy crop every other year affects some more than others, particularly in adverse conditions. I grow mine in a fan-trained shape on a warm boundary fence which works well for most varieties. harvest from late summer through autumn depending on variety is the clearest moment of differentiation between varieties — that's when the character of each comes through. Worth growing a few side by side if you have the space.
