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.
You do not say what type of lemon tree you have, but I am assuming it is the popular Meyer lemon. The Pacific Northwest climate isn't quite mild enough for growing citrus crops year-round outdoors. Nevertheless, you can grow your own lemon tree at home in a pot and bring it in during the cold months. Meyer lemon (Citrus x Meyeri) grows well in a container. You can keep a Meyer outdoors most of the year and move it indoors for the coldest months, when weather gets below freezing.
