Frequently Asked Questions
Learn how to germinate citron seeds, distinguish citron from lemons, and grow a healthy citron tree.
How do you grow citron from seeds?
Clean the seeds to remove fruit pulp and sow them in a clean, well-drained growing medium. Keep the medium lightly moist and provide warm conditions. Germination may occur in about 2–3 weeks, although timing varies with seed freshness and growing conditions. Transplant seedlings after they become established.
What is the difference between citron and a regular lemon?
Citron (Citrus medica) is a distinct citrus species known for its large fruit and unusually thick, aromatic rind, with comparatively little juicy pulp in many types. Ordinary lemons are generally grown for their acidic juice. Citron peel is often used in candied fruit, preserves, and traditional culinary preparations.
How long does a citron tree grown from seeds take to produce fruit?
A seed-grown citron tree may take several years to flower and produce fruit. The exact time depends on the plant's genetics, climate, sunlight, nutrition, and general care. Seedlings may also differ from the parent plant, so a grafted or cutting-grown tree may be preferable when a particular fruit variety is required.
