An heirloom of unknown origin, Lemon tree is a dwarf plant which grows up to ±1.20m. Producing loads of yellow tomatoes which are the size and shape of lemons, complete with a little point at the end! These have a fresh, tangy flavour, with definite rich citrus notes. They have firm, thick walls which are great for stuffing as well as using fresh.
Dwarf, regular leaf, mid-early, prolific
Dwarf plants are a great addition to any garden, being perfect for large pots (12lt plus) and edges of beds. They possess a gene which causes their growth pattern to be condensed, meaning that the stems are sturdier, and the leaf nodes are closer together. This means that they are brilliant for growing outdoors, and can withstand wind and weather better than regular indeterminates. Also, a dwarf plant can produce as much fruit as a regular indeterminate, but in a much smaller space. Like regular sized plants, dwarfs come in determinate (bush types which set all their fruit at once) and indeterminate (vining) types.
Sow Jan-April indoors
10-15 open-pollinated seeds
