Lisbon Lemon
Major commercial variety worldwide.
Lisbon originated in Portugal. Main crop in February, second crop in May.
Fruit is borne inside the canopy, sheltered from extremes of heat and cold. Tree
large, vigorous, thorny, prolific, resistant to cold, heat, wind. Not well
adapted to Florida. Surpasses 'Eureka' in California.
Our dwarf Lisbon is grown on Flying Dragon dwarf

be challenge, get a Dwarf Lisbon lemon makes this less of a challenge than
trying to grow other vareties.

Australia in 1824; first catalogued in Massachusetts in 1843; introduced into
California about 1849 and catalogued there in 1853; introduced into California
from Australia in 1874 and again in 1875. Fruit almost identical to 'Eureka';
elliptical to oblong, prominently nippled at apex, base faintly necked; peel
yellow, barely rough, faintly pitted, sometimes slightly ribbed, medium-thick,
tightly clinging; pulp pale greenish-yellow, in about 10 segments, fine-grained,
tender, juicy, very acid, with few or no seeds.

Our Citrus trees
are ready to fruit, not little saplings. Yes you can buy citrus trees on the
internet for $16.99 and Yugo's also sold for a lot less than a Lexus.
With nursery plants you will get exactly what you paid for. Production cost
are about the same, within a dollar or two for all of us, plant production is
about the most equal opportunity lose or win enterprise there is. Ask
the "grower" or web site for a photo and guarantee of the size of the
plant. Our plants are ready to bear fruit, some even come with fruit ready to
eat, many come with fruit that just needs more growing time. Do you really want
to wait 1 to 2 years for the tree to fruit and after going to the trouble of
getting it shipped to you? Citrus trees only begin producing well after several
years of growing and $16.99 buys about a 6 to 9 month year old plant. Ours are
typically 2
to 3 years old in
years or more of age, sent flowering, fruiting or ready to get started on both.
Our trees are
typically sold in #5
or #7 containers. We
have #15, 24", 36" and 48" box sizes also. Your best value
for long distance shipping are our #5 or #7 plants. But if you or your garden
need a big fruit tree then try our 24" box and
36" box sizes. That also means these are big
plants and require some effort to pack and ship. Orders in AZ, CA & NV may
delivered to you, depending on sizes and season. Prices
and check out do not include total
shipping
or delivery charges.
Central Valley and Los Angeles region customers may choose to pick up their
order at the farm. Total shipping costs are based upon quantity of plants
bought, your location and how fast you want the plants there. A
single Citrus tree purchase would typically cost $18.00 from $28.00 per plant to
ship. Volume
shipping discounts apply from 3 or more trees. Out
5 gallon plants weigh about 25 to 35 pounds. We guarantee the fruit trees to be
free of disease for 12 months.
