Lemon (Citrus limon) – Premium Seeds from Deodar Seeds
Lemon (Citrus limon) is a widely cultivated citrus fruit known for its bright yellow color, intense fragrance, and refreshing acidity. Native to South Asia, particularly Northeast India and China, lemons have been cultivated for thousands of years and are now grown globally in warm climates. Historically valued for their medicinal and preservative properties, lemons played a crucial role in preventing scurvy among sailors during long voyages.
Plant Characteristics
Lemon trees are evergreen, reaching heights of 3–6 meters (10–20 feet) with glossy, deep green foliage and fragrant white flowers. The fruits vary in size but typically measure 5–12 cm (2–5 inches) in length and weigh between 50–250 grams (1.8–8.8 oz), depending on the variety and growing conditions. The rind is rich in essential oils, producing a distinct citrus aroma, while the pulp is juicy, with a strong acidic taste. Lemons are highly productive, often yielding fruit multiple times a year under ideal conditions.
Taste and Health Benefits
Lemons are known for their tangy, refreshing flavor, which balances acidity and mild sweetness. Rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and flavonoids, they support immune health, aid digestion, and promote hydration. Lemon juice is commonly used as a natural detoxifier and has antibacterial properties, making it a staple in traditional and modern wellness practices.
Cultivation Guidelines
Lemon trees thrive in warm, subtropical to tropical climates, requiring full sun (at least 6–8 hours daily) and well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 5.5–7.0). Seeds should be sown in a warm, humid environment, with temperatures between 20–30°C (68–86°F) for optimal germination. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Young trees need regular watering, while mature trees become more drought-tolerant. Pruning encourages airflow and fruit production, while fertilizing with a balanced citrus-specific formula ensures strong growth. Lemons typically begin fruiting within 3–6 years after planting from seed.
Uses and Applications
Lemons have extensive culinary, medicinal, and household applications. They are a key ingredient in beverages, desserts, marinades, and sauces, adding acidity and brightness to dishes. In herbal medicine, lemon juice and peel are used for digestion, detoxification, and skincare. The essential oil extracted from lemon peel is widely used in aromatherapy, cleaning products, and cosmetics due to its antibacterial and uplifting properties.

Our lemon seeds are carefully selected from high-quality, naturally grown trees, ensuring high germination rates. Each batch is tested for viability and freshness, providing the best start for your lemon cultivation journey.
