If I can trust the information that dislodges and floats up as I kick at the internet, a young lemon tree growing in ideal conditions will undergo growth spurts on a 4-to-6-week cycle.
I
have a lemon tree. Mine is stuck in a sunroom in Montana, which provides stable
temperatures but may not be optimum in other regards, so its growth sessions
stretch a bit beyond 6 weeks. That said, the lemon tree fired off new shoots
about a week ago. In that short span of time, one branch has extended about 4
inches of new growth.
I’m
impressed with that kind of work.
Some
of my interweb research suggests that I may see lemons after only 2 years. That
would make me happy, but I’m willing to hang on no matter how long it takes. I
have shared a photograph of the new lemon tree growth alongside a Cold Smoke
Beer (for some sense of scale).
