Which price is appropriate for a lemon tree?
Lemon trees are offered in different growth forms. High trunks are especially popular. The price of a lemon tree depends on its size and age.
Where can I buy a lemon tree?
Basically, you can buy lemon trees everywhere. Possible addresses are:
The offered plants are represented in (almost) all age groups, sizes and growth forms, so that you can pick out the peared lemon tree. Private providers usually sell old solitaires that they can not or do not want to accommodate, and sometimes their own offspring. In Internet shops, you should make sure to buy your tree from a reputable dealer - that can not be mentioned often enough, because there are many black sheep frolicking in the expanse of the World Wide Web. Incidentally, lemon trees can only be delivered in frost-free weather. In general, the trees already bear flowers and maybe even some fruits.
Health check before buying
You should always check the state of health of the targeted lemon tree before each purchase to be immune from nasty surprises. Here comes our checklist:
Prefer refined plants
Refinements are to be preferred, since the finishing pad usually has a much better robustness and resistance to diseases and climatic influences. In addition, ennobled lemon trees flower and fruit much earlier, as their youth phase has been greatly reduced. If possible, a bitter orange or bitter lemon (which is frost hardy and therefore particularly resistant) should have been used as a finishing base.
Reasonable prices for a lemon
Basically, half or high stems are more expensive than lemon bushes. A young bush, about 20 to 30 centimeters high, usually costs about 15 to 25 euros, a Hochstämmchen the same size, however, an average of 10 euros more. In addition to the growth form decides the height and thus the age of the price. Lemon trees at the age of three to four years cost approximately from 35 euros upwards, for older trees are also 50 to 60 euros appropriate. Very old and large solitaires are rare and can cost several hundred euros.
Tips & Tricks
Lemons are popular trellis plants that are often available as round or flat trellis commercially. These plants need a particularly intensive care, also a sheltered (covered if possible) outdoor space.
