GENERAL INFORMATION

• The lemon, Citrus limon, is a species of a small evergreen tree in the flowering plant family Rutaceae, native to South Asia, primarily North eastern India.
• The flowers have a sweet odor and are solitary or borne in small clusters in the axils of the leaves.
• The white spongy inner part of the peel, called the mesocarp or albedo, is nearly tasteless and is the chief source of commercial grades of pectin. The seeds are small, ovoid, and pointed; occasionally fruits are seedless.
• It is also rich in vitamin C and contains smaller amounts of the B vitamins, particularly thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin.

SOIL REQUIREMENT

• Although lemon trees can grow in nearly any soil with good drainage, they grow best in loamy or sandy loam soils.
• Lemons also prefer soil pH levels between 5.5 and 6.5.

• The ideal ratio is two to three parts nitrogen to every one part of phosphorous and potassium.
