We found a dwarf lemon tree at the local Home Depot. Both of us decided this would be a neat addition to the garden so were giving it a try. It even had lemons already on it ! They are more sweet than store bought lemons. I call this the lemon tree experiment because the hardiness is to 30 degrees. I am hoping it will thrive here but I know our temperatures do dip below 30 occasionally. This is a drought tolerant plant that grows 4-8' tall and 4-8ft wide. Currently this lemon tree is about 2' tall. I have the perfect place on my little hillside that gets the required 6+ hours of sun and tends to be an area that dries out quickly in the summer. I am excited to see the results.
