One of the main advantages of a lemon is that it is easy to grow and is resistant to most climate changes. If you have enough free space in your garden, you can grow a lemon tree from a normal seed.

It is very important to plant lemon seeds in a moist soil so that they germinate normally. However, try not to overdo it with water and heat, because the seed can rot.

Lemon trees bloom in open spaces, especially those where it is hot and sunny most of the time. It is not necessary to be a professional agronomist to obtain a fruit crop after completing the appropriate cycle.

The easiest way to grow a lemon is to take a sprout from a tree that is already blooming and fruiting, but not everyone has the opportunity to do this, so we will tell you how to grow a lemon tree from seeds.

This is a very useful and pleasant experience, but you should bear in mind that the fruit can appear on the tree only after 3 to 6 years.
