Properly caring for a grafted Meyer lemon tree facilitates fruit production in as little as two years. Seed grown trees fruit in four to seven years. Attractive, evergreen foliage and sporadic, fragrant flowering are among the reasons people like growing Meyer lemons. Production of the lemon fruit is an added bonus.
Nitrogen is essential for healthy lemon tree growth and production. Lemon trees (Citrus limon) grow outside in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 12. These medium to large evergreen trees possess thorns, fragrant leaves and sweet-sour fruit. Citrus trees like lemons need fertilizing with nitrogen to produce strong growth each year. The best source of nitrogen for lemon trees is commercially available slow-release fertilizer.
