Lemon seeds grow into lemon trees.
While the resulting tree will be a lemon tree, it's important to understand some key considerations when growing lemons from seed:
-
Hybrid Nature: Lemon trees grown from seed are often hybrids. This means the fruit they eventually produce may not be identical to the parent lemon. This can be part of the fun, as you may get a slightly different, unique lemon variety.
-
Fruiting Time: Trees grown from seed take longer to produce fruit compared to grafted trees. Be patient; it can take several years before you see lemons.
-
Indoor Potential: Lemon trees grown from seed make attractive houseplants with glossy leaves and fragrant blooms.
-
Care Requirements:
- Provide a warm, sunny location.
- Keep the soil consistently moist.
In summary, planting a lemon seed will result in a lemon tree, but be aware that the fruit it produces might be different from the original lemon, and it will require patience and proper care to eventually bear fruit.
