Description
Citrus limon ‘Lisbon’ is a vigorous, evergreen lemon tree and one of the most widely planted varieties in Australia. It produces abundant crops of juicy, medium to large lemons with thin skin and excellent acidity. Its dense canopy and high productivity make it ideal for Melbourne’s home orchards, garden borders, or as a stand-alone feature tree. ‘Lisbon’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, performing reliably in Melbourne’s temperate climate.
