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.
Lemon trees (Citrus limon) grow in U.S. Department of Agriculture zones 9 through 11. The time of year when the tree is planted, the type of care it receives and the conditions where it is grown all contribute to the success of the tree. Lemon trees are best planted at the end of winter or beginning of spring. Planting Seedlings The optimal time for planting a lemon tree is in the late winter or early spring. Still, lemon trees can be planted at any time of year, as long as proper precautions are taken. Lemon trees planted in summer or during the hottest time of the year must be watered frequently and need to be carefully monitored to ensure that the soil doesn't dry out.
