Description
Citrus limon x sinensis "Lemonicious" is a dwarf variation of the renowned 'Meyer' lemon, a delightful cross between Orange and Lemon. The result is a fruit with a pleasant, slightly sweetened tang, a taste unique to its hybrid nature. These trees also produce fragrant white blooms, adding an aromatic charm to their already appealing fruiting quality.
Perfect for limited spaces, "Lemonicious" thrives both in-ground and in pots. Those planting in sandy soils should consider using a soil conditioner to bolster nutrient levels. It's essential to provide consistent water from Kambarang to Djeran (spring to autumn) during the hotter periods. Fertilising with a citrus-specific blend during Djilba (early spring) will boost growth, and occasional pruning post-harvest helps maintain the tree's compact shape.
