Welcome to the collection of images and descriptions dedicated to the lemon tree — an evergreen fruit-bearing plant widely spread in regions with warm climates. The lemon tree, or Citrus limon, is a medium-sized tree that can reach heights from 3 to 6 meters. This tree is characterized by smooth bark and a dense, spreading crown made up of oval and elongated leaves with a distinctive serrated edge.

The lemon tree typically grows in gardens, greenhouses, and conservatories, as well as on private plots where conditions are created for its growth and fruiting. Its root system firmly anchors the plant in the soil, providing access to necessary nutrients and water. The flowering of the lemon tree consists of many small white or creamy flowers with a pleasant aroma, which serve as the basis for fruit formation.

The fruits of the lemon tree are large samara-like berries, well known for their rich tart taste and characteristic aromatic peel. They have a spherical or slightly oval shape and are covered with smooth or slightly rough skin, firm and juicy inside. Lemons contain juice with a high content of vitamin C, and the fruits are harvested throughout the warm season, from spring to late autumn.

The lemon tree generally prefers sunny locations with moderate humidity and fertile, well-drained soil. Regular pruning is important for its successful growth, allowing crown shaping and improving air circulation, as well as protection from cold winter temperatures typical of temperate and northern latitudes. In natural conditions, lemon trees are often found in Mediterranean regions, subtropics, and tropics, being an integral part of both cultivated plantations and natural ecosystems.

The surrounding vegetation may include citrus plantations, decorative and fruit crops, as well as companion plants that support soil structure and biodiversity. The lemon tree is a unique subject for study in botany, agriculture, and landscape design, adding significance to the environment in which it grows.
