Citrus lemon 'Lunario'

Origin
The Citrus lemon 'Lunario' is a cultivar of the Citrus Limon, better known as the lemon tree. Originally, this variant comes from Asia, but today it is grown worldwide, particularly in countries around the Mediterranean Sea.

Characteristics
The Citrus lemon 'Lunario' is characterised by its evergreen leaves and aromatic blossom. The plant produces round, light yellow lemons that are slightly larger than the average lemon. The fruits have a thick skin and are particularly juicy. It is a vigorous grower that can occur as both a tree and a shrub, depending on the way it is pruned.

Care
Generally, the Citrus lemon 'Lunario' prefers a sunny location and has a preference for well-draining soil. Water is given in moderation, as the plant does not like overly wet soil. During the growing season, which begins in spring, fertilisation with a special citrus feed can stimulate growth and fruit production. The pruning of the plant depends on the desired shape, but is generally done after harvesting.
