They benefit from being outside in summer in a sunny protected area. This will strengthen the plant and help control any lurking pests which may be hanging around. They do tend to flower at odd times of year in Britain but it is generally round Christmas time that the lemons appear. The bright evergreen leaves and fragrant white flowers are intoxicating and lovely to look at. Generally self fertile, they bear lemons which hang from the trees looking like baubles at Christmas time. A very rewarding tree.
Citrus are not hardy in cold countries and must be kept in a pot, in a conservatory, greenhouse or on a cool well lit windowsill in the cold months. In severe weather, a heated conservatory or fleece is recommended. Do not keep near a hot radiator.
