LEMON/NIMBU/CITRUS LIMON SEEDS The lemon, Citrus limon, is a species of small evergreen tree in the flowering plant family Rutaceae, native to South Asia.The tree's ellipsoidal yellow fruit is used for culinary and non-culinary purposes throughout the world, primarily for its juice, which has both culinary and cleaning uses. The pulp and rind are also used in cooking and baking. The juice of the lemon is about 5% to 6% citric acid, with a pH of around 2.2, giving it a sour taste. The distinctive sour taste of lemon juice makes it a key ingredient in drinks and foods such as lemonade. HOW TO GROW: Plant several lemon seeds about ½ inch deep to increase the chance for lemon seed propagation. Moisten the soil lightly and cover the top of the pot with plastic wrap to aid in water retention. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy.And although it may take anywhere from 3-6 years for your tree to be capable of producing fruit.
