There is one important nuance that only a few people realize, which is why many continue fruitless attempts to grow fragrant lemons at home.

A lemon tree covered with fruit is a dream for gardeners who don’t limit themselves to planting in open ground.

Such people grow greens, tomatoes and other crops on the windowsill or balcony. Lemon is a pleasant exotic addition.

Many people think that it is easy to grow a lemon. Allegedly, it is enough to just throw a seed into the ground and water it periodically.

If this were really the case, then every second or third house would have fruit-bearing lemon trees.

In fact, there is no need to waste time waiting for a sprout to appear from a seed. A wild lemon will grow, which will not yield a harvest in 50 or 100 years - greenery, and nothing more.

If you want to grow lemons on your windowsill, you need to plant a cutting of a fruit-bearing tree. Then, with proper care, there will definitely be a harvest even in indoor conditions.
