The tree produces hefty, bumpy yellow fruit and glossy green foliage, making it an attractive container or garden specimen for enthusiasts of rare and unusual citrus. Citrus medica is one of the oldest cultivated citrus species and lends itself well to indoor growing in cooler climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe thick rind is traditionally used for candying, zest, and aromatic infusions, while the pulp is dry and seedy. Citron trees grow slowly, respond well to pruning, and can be maintained at a manageable size in pots. The fruit matures over several months and stores well due to its dense peel. Growers often value citron for its ornamental fruit and its role in traditional and holiday preparations.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Citrus medica\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Citron\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Tropical fruit tree\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Small evergreen tree, upright, well-branched\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-draining, slightly acidic, fertile mix\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: 200-300 days from flowering\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 9-11 outdoors; container grown elsewhere\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 2-6 weeks at 70-85F\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Plant 1\/4 inch deep in moist, well-draining mix\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 10-15 feet outdoors; 1 per large container\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged; provide bright light and warmth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663283814536,"sku":"EXGA-969","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_b6e275cd-f76b-489b-9f94-b6b340f32beb.png?v=1791896444","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/5-seeds-citron-citrus-medica-giant-lemon-type-fruit-tree","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
