Come coltivare Limone

Meyer

A cross between a lemon and a mandarin, producing fruit that is sweeter, rounder, and less acidic than standard lemons. Well-suited to container growing.

Eureka

Lisbon

A vigorous, thorny lemon tree producing high-quality fruit with true lemon acidity. More cold-tolerant than Eureka and well-suited to container growing in the UK.

Improved Dwarf

A compact selection of Meyer lemon ideal for small spaces and containers. Produces full-sized fruit on a naturally small tree, making it perfect for conservatories.

Variegata

An ornamental lemon with striking cream-and-green variegated foliage and pink-fleshed fruit when young. Also called Pink Lemonade. Slightly less productive but beautiful.

Quatre Saisons

A French four-seasons lemon that flowers and fruits almost continuously in warm conditions. Medium-sized fruit with good juice content. Also known as Garey's Eureka.

Femminello

The classic Italian lemon, accounting for most of Italy's commercial production. Heavy-cropping with highly aromatic fruit, well-adapted to container culture.

Verna

A Spanish variety that crops heavily in late spring without a winter rest. Large, slightly oval fruit with few seeds. Good for UK conservatory growing.

Genoa

A nearly thornless lemon producing medium-sized, very juicy fruit. Compact growth habit makes it excellent for container culture in limited spaces.
