How To Grow A LEMON TREE From A SEED ( 0-6 MONTHS UPDATES ) 

Do it

If you grow from seed from a store it's not likely to ever make a lemon if it even produces fruit. Commercial lemons are grafted to root stock and the fruits seeds will reflect the root stock not the fruit. I did the same thing 7 year ago.

GlassTopRX7 would that be the same for an avocado ? Mine dead now but Atleast that will make me feel better lol

@@Valentina-yo9ec Typical I think it is but in that case it might be an avocado just not the type you purchased.

@@Valentina-yo9ec The answer is yes. All Hass avocados came from one tree, and was grafted onto other avocado trees to bear the same fruit. Plants have hidden genetics too, just like animals. So your own seed could have been naturally weak/never bare fruit/bare tiny little avocados/basically could have any combination of avocado genes. The only way to 100% guarantee you get big fruit is to buy an already grafted hass(or other variety) avocado tree. Try doing multiple seeds if you try again, hopefully one will grow from there. Avocados are notorious for being difficult to grow due to needy conditions and fungus. I've had luck so far with my first and only attempt, but make no mistake. My avocado should be 3-4 feet by normal standards and it's only a foot tall. Best of luck to your avocado adventures!

😂

Hey one of mine is still that size, its the genetics, so dont worry! keep it up!

We had an orange tree like that. It did eventually grow a bit and bear fruit.

Lol same! I'm growing five and after 2 and a half years they don't pass 20 cm. My lil ones are sloooow growers

UntrainableWizard - only us plant people can truly understand this 😂

@Mohamed Farah you can grow a lemon or orange tree roo and graft other citrus kinds on it

Mah, so cool!

Omg that is awesome 👌

Wow, never heard of this before! I’d love to have such a tree, going to do some research, thank you! 🍋🌱🪴

Waoow that's amazing I can't believe it...

lmaoo

U have 2 buy soil?

@@tinawindham6958 personally I had to, because the one I can get outside is mostly rocks and the potting soil I bought last time had zero drainage and just molded over time 😕

Yea, you can have a 5 ft lemon tree in three years!! They are gorgiouse

The *sighs* got me 😂😂😂

lol

😂😂😂

HAHAHAHA

I did everything like u did but it just kept growing and growing with thorns but no lemon 🍋 let me know y

@@Kosova99 Might take some years.

So glad you're starting again, stranger!

Please reignite your passion for growing lemon trees. It's positive and all good

awesome! I hope you can collect many cool plants!

Same🤣

Yep, same here, I'm probably going to have to stop soon, but if I can find a sweet lemon, I'll probably try to grow that. They taste kind of like lemon water and they're intended to be eating kind of like an orange.

@@TechplantChannel u’re speaking like its a pokemon xDD

Yup thats why i make these videos. I was frustrated aswell!

Mia Bellion yes!

because lemon trees take at least 3 years to produce lemons...

But what happened with the grafting?

That's a great idea!

My seed grown lemon tree which I had for eleven years, never even flowered. But produced lots of beautiful foliage. I also found that the leaves, really do make a delicious ingredient to some dishes.

Bunch of herbivores

lol

amazing!

hhahaa lol same here, got a 70 year old healthy tree but im bored so thought why not grow another one

if it produces high quality lemons dont grow them from seeds. make a clone. all you need is to choose a branch, remove part of the bark, smear a bit of root growth hormone(optional but it helps) and attach a small bag of moist soil in the area where you cut the bark, and observe it for like 1-2 months, until it starts to grow its own roots. then carefully cut it off the tree and plant it, and you have an exact clone of your lemon tree. seeds have genetic variations, clones dont.

@@sabin97 as much as I would listen to you and do this, it was my great great grandmothers tree and cutting into it wouldn’t make my family happy. If she was still around I’m sure she would say the same thing.

@@ashminty9295 you never prune that tree? never cut any excess branches?

Thanks! its starting to get more!

Andrew Hunt #facts

Andrew Hunt Very true indeed. It's amazing this. I'm going to try it. I use lots of lemons in cooking. I live in the UK 🇬🇧, damp, cold climate so don't know how the plants will fare. I wonder if they need to be kept in greenhouse?

@@katzwhite5962 some lemon varieties can be okay to -5°c so it depends where you are in the UK really. If you've got a walled garden in London; probably okay outside. If you're on a windswept Yorkshire Moor, I'd have it in a pot and put outside for summer only. I'm in Wales and we just planted a lemon tree and a calamondrin orange in our polytunnel. They had them cheap at LIDL last week, like £2.50 for a 40cm tall plant.

I know right

Thanks for sharing, ill have to try it!

interestinggg!!

My propagation book said it takes at least 15 years to produce fruit. I had a lemon tree and waited so long. Looked it up in my book and it said you had to wait at least 15 years. My little tree died from a freeze before it could produce lemons.🙁

How come it wouldn't produce edible fruit?

When it comes to food, it doesn't take many plants or much space to make a significant difference in how you're eating. I'm personally trying to grow strawberries and salad greens indoors. I'm hoping to find a sweet lemon to grow indoors as well.

I'm glad that my garden has an already grown raspberry,blueberry and strawberry tree

Wait not tree

Bush?

There like kind of like in a bush

heck yeah! thanks for sharing!

I found this out about Apple seeds and why so many crap apple trees and avocado. My avocado and lemon trees from seed are my 5 year science projects. Lol

Wait it might not have edible lemons? :( I just planted a few almost a month back and its a slow progress and now i get to know i might never have lemons?

@@jackieweaver3884 well you will have lemons, but it is probably not palatable, no much juice due to too little pulp. If you want to plant a lemon tree, just get one from the nursery or air-layered cutting.

@@mathlife2287 ohhh okay thanks

After all those years do you have edible lemons now?

9ft!!!

Did you use pots or planted it outside if you plant it in a pot how many gallons does your pot have -sorry for bad English

Good luck!

sorry its a wisconsin thing

@@TechplantChannel Northern Irish thing too

@@TechplantChannel you mean wiscahnnnnsin?

Bæg

@@TechplantChannel don’t be sorry it’s so sexc

same i kept em all lol

LOL! I know EXACTLY how you feel!

ikr? you rase little children and then they expect you to just trash them? HOW?

Same. because the plants are alive after all. ^-^

Yeah my cat had 4 kittens, I ended up with mom ,dad, aunt kitty and 4 sisters. One lived to be 20. She was the only one that like to be outside. Rip cat family.

awesome

BOSS

Das' some good shit.

Someone tor one of mine out of the pot

How are they doing now?

NICE! good luck and raise them well!

Same except i just am not telling my mum that I’m growing a lemon tree in the middle of winter

Isn't it more of a waste to not do it 😂

Wow, why would growing food be a waste?

Your parents suck.

Thanks

lol

Lmao thanks that was very funny

Straight up stopped the video to look for this comment at 15 seconds lol

Listen. That's how people pronounce it in some parts of the country. That's how I do; I think it's a Seattle area accent.

I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days. Yea, I make a record in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians. And I know that the record which I make is true; and I make it with mine own hand; and I make it according to my knowledge". 1 Nephi 1-3 Hello friends, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The verses above are the first three verses in The Book of Mormon. I know this probably isn't the most ideal place to talk about religion but I really do want you to know that God loves you. You may not love Him or care about Him at all, but He still will continue to love you. You are a beloved son or daughter of God. He knows you personally and He truly and deeply desires for your happiness. He loves everyone who has every lived on this earth, with a perfect equal love regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, faith and values and beliefs. The Lord loves you more than you can think or comprehend. "He inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile" 2 Nephi. He is our loving, caring Heavenly Father. We are literally His children and creations. When we were in the womb, he knew about us" Jerimiah 4:5. He knitted us and we were created in His image. I testify to you that you and I are not a mistake. He knows the very moment when we stand and when we sit. He is familiar with all our ways and knows us personally who we are. The hairs on our very head are numbered. God loved us so much, He sent His Only Begotten Son for us, that we may be able to return and dwell in the presence of God again. The Lord has not forgotten about us even when it feels like He has. He will never forsake us. When we are happy, He and His angels rejoice alongside us. When we are sad, He heals us and lifts us up from our trials. He has always been there for us. He has always been our loving, compassionate Heavenly Father and God. Will we always be His children and people? I testify to you that God lives and that Jesus is the Christ. Both love you exceedingly and rejoice when you are happy. They both love you so much. They love you with a love unfeigned. They will never ever stop doing good unto you. I know that The Book of Mormon is true. "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost". Moroni 10:4 I promise and testify to you, that if you will read The Book of Mormon, ponder on its message and ask God if it is not true, you will come to know of its truthfulness, whether its true or not true. Remember my friends that God loves you with all his heart, might mind, soul and strength. He wants you to be happy. He knows what you are going through and dealing with right now. He desires for you to return back to Him. Unfortunately, He has been misrepresented and seen as a cruel and angry God who anticipates for us to slip and writes down every mistake we make waiting to punish us by those who do not know or know Him fully. My friends, God has stored many opportunities and blessings for you. He is incredibly eager and desires with all His heart to bless you abundantly. He wants you to live with Him again. He only wants the best for you and your well being. He wants to experience everlasting joy and indescribable happiness in this life and in the life to come. He wants you to partake of His goodness and come and follow Him. The Lord does not care how early or late you decide to come unto Him. I testify to you that if you have strayed and wondered off the path that there is hope in Jesus Christ, The Savior of the world. The Lord accepts those who come unto Him whether your early, late or just in time who desire to change. The Lord will accept you wholeheartedly and forgive you if you are willing to change. The Lord will welcome you and will always be ready to embrace you with open arms. The Lord will lift us up in our trials and use us to bless the lives of those around us if we are willing to change. If you desire to learn more, you are always welcome to visit comeuntochrist.org. There you will learn more about The Church of Jesus Christ and our core beliefs and values. If you have taken the time to read The Book of Mormon and this comment, thank you. It takes a huge leap of faith and a lot of courage to muster enough faith to read in the Book of Mormon and to believe in something in a personage that you may never see in this lifetime. Although we may not be able to see God and Jesus Christ in this life, I testify to you that they are real. They do truly exist. I promise you that if you will pray to know of their existence, you will come to know whether they exist or have been made up. You are my friends. The Lord loves you and is aware of you and despite all our weaknesses and shortcomings, he still loves us and will forgive us if we will humble ourselves before Him and diligently seek correction and do whatever is needed to repent. Remember that The Lord is always available to talk to through prayer 24/7. No question sounds too silly for Him. James wrote, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" James 1:5. If you must know whether or not something is true or evil and deceptive, you can always pray to God. He will help you know what the truth is and what is not the truth. He will never be too busy to talk to. He will give you strength you need to overcome and conquer your temptations and will give you the strength you need to endure through your trials and afflictions. Paul said that The Lord will not give you temptations that you cannot resist, but that in your temptations, He will provide a way for you to resist, overcome and conquer them. He will provide a way. He wants to bless you and reward you abundantly. The Lord knows you and will not forget you. You are loved. You are utterly amazing. You have incredible potential. You are not forgotten or ever will be forsaken. You are special. You are unique. You are one of a kind. You have been reserved for this time and The Lord needs you on His side. It simply would not be the same without you. That's just how much the Lord need you on His side. Thank you for your time.

Thanks

Your right. It was from removing the shell. Seeds need the seed pod for nutrients. It helps give the plant energy to grow. When it has used up all the nutrients, the pod drops off. It's like little baby fish, that have a egg sac, at birth. It feeds them, until they can eat in their own. So that plant was deprived of nutrients, and the soil was not enough.

Is it possible that peeled seeds he put in plastic bag didn't germinate because he put too much water, or they don't have any air?

@@0omateoo26 The primary function of the seed coat (the 'peeling' that was removed) is protection. High moisture and low air flow will certainly facilitate fungal and bacterial growth, which is likely what killed those seeds, and removing the seed coat certainly made them more vulnerable to those organisms.

Hi Brigette, I have a lime tree which doesn't give limes. I greet from seed. This summer the leafs started to roll green and dry. I removed those and now the rest continues to do the same. Does it required those nutrients? Is it the heat? Also there's lots of thorns, was wondering if I should cut those branches out or leave it. Also, should I graft it with a Lemmon branch from another tree to get fruit?

the ones at the nursery are probably grafted and will bear fruit much quicker just so you know, from seed could take 5 years and you might get poor quality lemons

I bought a lemon tree from Home Depot but it came with scale that seemed to improve a bit after I wiped off the bumps with rubbing alcohol and placed it outside in the summer, but it ended up not surviving. Starting your own tree in good soil without pests might be the best way to get a lemon tree!

Did you plant some? How are they doing?

All the ones I find at nurseries have the golfball size fruit. I want *real* lemons so I am watching these videos.

lol, yeah i like to try things and see it for myself. Ive read about plants and you can always find contradicting advice from website to website so i like to just try stuff

You are so welcome! Good luck I hope they grow big and fast!!!

That is so cute! Me too!!

@@TechplantChannel it can have fruit?

Any luck growing the lemon tree

Glad you enjoyed it! Good luck on your plant adventure!

dang right i am

@@TechplantChannel top class👏🏼

Pog

lol

um, cull the ones he doesn't want?

lol.

Love that!

That's so cute!

I noticed that with my hibiscus plants 😍 I feel like I was "rewarded" with more flowers after talking to them often, complimenting them, softly taking the dead leaves off... and now imagine what happens when we are careful with other humans too 🤔

When i was a kid i had no friends but my dogs, mom and a citric tree(we didnt knew if it were a lemon, orange, toronge, etc) and i talked to him. Jajajaja good times

I also touched my lemon trees every day. I told them I loved them . when I moved to Nashville someone stole my two 7 ft lemon trees. I was sick. I know they were not Happy to be taken away. They were 4 yrs old.

amazing! Thanks for sharing I hope they bear fruit for you one day!

Do they smell good in the house?

@@ladymarie77 they dont really smell like anything unless you break a leaf

Update please OP

How often do you water

lol NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I have some clementines coming up right now!!

lol

@Fabiola Puente Pérez Omg same

Yes

​@@dreamymel me too lmao so many different seeds growing in my room rn

Interesting, thank you!

'A nutritional sucker' aka another main stem for the plant, which will result in a bushier and more compact tree. If you're growing it as an indoor plant, it's actually better to encourage those, as it'll make the trunk thicker, and result in a wider canopy, instead of one leggy trunk with a few leaves on top.

Also Suckers also come when the plant is in stress, such as for vitamin deficiency. etc. It is nature's way of trying to save the plant, when the main plant is in stress, a sicker will appear just in case the main plant does not make it, the sucker will continue to grow. Citrus plants are heavy feeders.Its signaling to give the plant nutrients.

Thorns are present on vigorous growth low on the trunk as well as any other rapid growth. They are especially prevalent on immature, vegetative growth. As the tree matures the thorns on new growth are shorter, or absent, unless the cultivar is genetically disposed to thorniness. Suckers will eventually mature into productive branches, if their location doesn't interfere with the structural scaffolding of the tree. However, suckers growing below the graft union on a grafted tree are undesirable and need to be removed, as they will dominate and overtake the rest of the tree.

I have a tree which I grew from seed that has plenty. I thought it was because it's a lime and not a Lemmon. Big question is should I get ridd of it? I just have one and it looks like it's a male plant, no fruits or flowers. Can I try to do with the Lemmon tree a graft and see what happens?

@@MariaMartinez-gl7bg ... they grew it from seed.

Thanks for sharing!

If you want a tree that will have the same caracteristics of that 800 years old one, you probably want to start it from a branch, since it essentially will grow into a tree with the exact same DNA. When you start a tree from seed it will always be in some way different than the tree where they came from since their DNA will be different much like a parent and a child.

ohhh, glad to find this input. less water, already in full sun for my sprout of a month +. thank you
