Lemon Tree Growth Stages Explained
22.11.2023 - 09:09 / balconygardenweb.com / Raul Cornelius
From the initial sprouting of a tiny seed to the development of lush, fragrant blossoms and the eventual harvest of sun-kissed lemons, each growth stage is a marvel of nature’s magic. This guide will give you info on Lemon Tree Growth Stages.
Imagine a tiny lemon seed, small but mighty, ready to break free from its citrusy shell. This is where the journey of this plant starts – in a cozy, damp potting soil mix.
Within 2-4 weeks, the seed does something truly magical – it sprouts! Picture a tiny plant baby peeking out, saying, “Hello world, I’m here to make lemons!”
Now, at this point, the lemon seedling is like a toddler, young and full of potential. Over the next few months, it grows taller, sprouting more leaves.
This stage is crucial – it’s all about getting big and strong!
Fast forward a couple of years, and the lemon tree is not in its angsty teenage phase! It’s bigger, around 3-5 feet tall, and starting to look more like a tree, but without fruits.
This is the “all leaf, no fruit” stage. Patience is key here.
Now things get exciting! Around 3-5 years in, the lemon tree will be ready for what we all await – producing fruits! This starts with the plant-growing flowers – the precursors to much-awaited lemons!
Finally, the moment we’ve been waiting for – lemons! After the flowers are pollinated, tiny green fruits appear. Over the next 4-9 months, these baby lemons grow, turn yellow, and get that zesty aroma.
At around 5-8 years, the tree will reach its full potential. This is prime lemon-making time, folks! It produces more fruits yearly, like a lemon factory in full swing!
As the tree ages, it doesn’t slow down. Mature lemon trees can produce fruit for decades.
