Planting Lemon Trees for Business

Planting a lemon tree for business requires appropriate knowledge of the lemon tree- the type of soil it needs to grow and the climatic conditions.

If you know the requirements of the lemon tree, it will be easier to start the business. Make sure that enough distance is being kept between the two lemon trees.

The lemon tree is a cold-sensitive tree that thrives in warm, tropical climates. It can grow up to 30 feet and continue to give fruits for around 30 years. Planting a lemon tree requires complete knowledge of the soil type, weather conditions as well as other requirements of the tree. Lemon trees have sharp thorns when they are young.

Conditions for the Growth of Lemon Tree

For the business of lemon trees, try to have a larger area for the plantation of the trees. The more the space, the better it is for the tree since it also spreads on a broader scale. Remember to select an area with enough sunlight coming there, as the trees would require sunlight on a larger scale. The location should provide a distance of 25 feet from other trees, fences, and structures. Also, they cannot withstand frost, and so they will not grow in areas where the temperature may drop below 30 degrees, so they don’t survive cold for an extended period. Thus it would be best if you grew them in areas with enough sunlight.

Type of soil needed for Growing Lemon Tree

You need to check the ph level of the soil, which should be between 5.5 to 6.5; you can even add lime to the soil to achieve the required levels. The ground needs to be adjusted at least one week before the plant is put into the ground. Lemons need to be saved from solid winds, and also there should be enough water drainage in the area. They grow well in fertile soil with organic manure that should be slightly acidic. When planting the tree, take special care of your hands or wear gloves to avoid any irritation. After the tree has been planted, sprinkle nitrogen on the top of the soil around the tree. Add some water to the tree but only a little.

The best aspect of the lemon trees is that they can tolerate drought but still add water to the plant when it becomes dry. But never add excessive water to the plant as it may catch rot diseases. The lemon tree blossoms once a year between November and January. During this time, the tree is full of flowers. After the tree blooms, lemons will begin to appear, and it will take around six months to mature completely. The lemons given preference in the plantation are the Meyer Lemon and Ponderosa Lemon. These are not actual lemons but a hybrid variety.
