Lisbon Lemon Tree for Sale

The Lisbon Lemon is one of the world's classic commercial lemon varieties, believed to have originated in Portugal. It is a vigorous, thorny tree that produces medium to large, bright yellow, highly acidic lemons with excellent juice content — the kind of lemon you want for cooking, preserving and everyday kitchen use.

In warm South African gardens Lisbon often carries fruit for much of the year once established. It is self-fertile, heat-tolerant and a strong grower — give it space, drainage and regular citrus feeding and it will reward you generously.

Compared with Meyer, Lisbon fruit is more classically sharp and acidic. Compared with Eureka, it is similarly productive but typically more vigorous and thorny. An excellent workhorse lemon for the home orchard.
