Strangely enough, one of my bigger reasons for building a sunroom was a desire to grow a lemon tree. Given our northerly location and continental climate, a sunroom is the perfect place for a lemon tree.
Last
October, with sunroom construction finally completed, Desiree urged a lemon
seed to germinate in a small flower pot.
A small green flag emerged from the soil within a couple weeks.
In
the time since, a sturdy little seedling has grown in the small pot Desiree
provided.
From
what I have read, we might expect our tree to mature enough to produce a lemon
in three to six years. I am hoping for a
landing on the three-year side of this equation, but just having a growing
lemon tree is satisfying enough for now.
I
have posted a picture of the lemon tree alongside a Cold Smoke Beer (my base
unit of measure). In matters of lemon
trees, being bigger than a Cold Smoke is a good thing.
