The lemon tree (Citrus limon) is a small evergreen tree native to Asia. It is known for its bright yellow fruits and fragrant flowers. Lemon trees are popular choices for growing in terra cotta pots due to their compact size and adaptability to container gardening. They require well-draining soil and regular watering to thrive. The fruits of lemon trees are rich in vitamin C and can be used in various culinary applications, from adding flavor to dishes and beverages to making refreshing lemonade. With proper care, a lemon tree in a terra cotta pot can provide you with a bountiful harvest of tangy and aromatic lemons.
