Pedoclimatic needs
Lemons are plants suitable for hot climate areas and do not resist cold and frost; in Italy they are grown in the south, on the islands and where temperatures do not fall below +2°/0°C. Citrus fruits prefer loose and fertile soils, possibly with a good organic substance content and avoid excessively calcareous soils. Lemons do not resist drought and during the dry season they must be watered and fertilized regularly.Botanical Information
