This lemon tree is a slow-growing, evergreen citrus tree with long, glossy leaves. When planted outdoors in USDA plant hardiness zones 8 to 11, the Ponderosa Lemon Tree can grow as tall as 24 feet. The tree can be kept smaller when planted in a pot indoors. Both the standard and dwarf Ponderosa Lemon Tree have a rounded top and medium-thick branches full of spines.

Like most lemon or lime trees, Ponderosa lemon trees are cold sensitive and frost tender when grown in areas colder than USDA planting zone 8. While potted trees can grow to fruit-bearing ages in colder areas, they need additional light during the cold season and protection from freezing by overwintering indoors.

USDA regulations do not allow shipping Outside the State of Florida

Key Features

Ponderosa lemon trees for sale from Florida feature large, glossy leaves, fragrant white flowers about 1-2 inches in size, and produce large, bumpy lemons with a tart flavor.

Special considerations

Ponderosa lemon trees require well-drained soil, full sun, and regular watering, along with special care for pest management and protection from frost.

Growing and Care Instructions

    Fertilize every 6-8 weeks during the growing season.
