How to Grow a Lemon Tree from Seed 

I tried this when this video came out and now my lemon tree has grown ALOT and it has begun to start giving me my first flowers it took 4 years but it’s worth it 10/10

I just shoved some seeds in the dirt of a regular old pot and it grew, after 2 months of growing my dog ate the sapling.

Normal People: buy fruit to eat it Gardeners: buy fruit for the seeds

who is here during the covid-19 quarantine

Ive used this method to germinate many different types of fruit seeds after watching my great grandmother do it throughout my childhood. You are the first person I've seen doing this besides her. Great video. Thanks

I don't know if my comment will be appreciated but here it goes. In the mid 60's my mother grew a lemon seed in a pot of soil, with no problem,. It eventually grew to about 5 feet in height and had been upgraded in several pots as it grew. It was healthy, but it had one problem ... it dripped a gummy substance which eventually caused my mother to want to find it a new home. Since lemon trees are warm weather trees, it would not have survived being planted outside so the only way for it to survive was to find it another home. I did the adoption and I found a very nice couple with a green house that wanted it. Be careful with growing citrus plants, they may have the same problem. On the other hand, she also started a peach from a peach she ate and also potted it and it grew until it was big enough to plant in our garden. And it gave HUGE PEACHES every year.

Thank you. At a time when negative behavior has permeated the internet, your service is greatly appreciated. To you and all positive thinkers; happy Sunday!🎉🇬🇧🇺🇸👍🙏✋👌❤️😀

I did this 3 years ago. I'm in one of the most fertile areas in the 🌎 . It gave me beautiful juicy grapefruits in January of this year. 🍋 🍊 🍈 THANK YOU!

“I’ll show you how to cut it without damaging seeds”, “the key is to not damage seeds”. Damages most of the seeds.

I tried and i managed to grow a lemon tree thanx bro

I just cut the lemon, take the seeds, Bush them into potted soil, water, and within a few days they sprout.

Normal person: when life gives you lemons, make a lemonade Gardener: when life gives you lemons plant them 😂

Did you know that life didn’t give us lemons we gave lemons life (edit: I don’t even remember commenting this or what it even means probably because I commented it over a year ago but still)

I just threw the seeds in a pot I had in the kitchen and they grew. That was it! 😂

I've been trying to grow lemons several times by my methods (put it in the soil and let it be) and it didn't work. I tried this and now i have healthy lemon plants. Thank you!

I find cutting the lemon in half then juicing it the most effective way to remove seeds.

I watched this video last spring. I did exactly what you instructed,now I have 2 little lemon trees! THANKS FOR MAKING THIS!

Yay. Life gave me lemons and in ten years, I'm making lemonade! 🤘😂🤘

Who’s watching while virus 🦠 out there

I did the same process for 4 seeds and one of them germinated. Thanks a lot !👍🤘

I watched this video and now i have 8 lemon seeds germinating!

Let's all grow seed in pots good for the environment keeps you busy while listening to your music good for people that feel depressed 🌹😄

Yay I am not the only one who is watching in 2019

It works just the way you instructed. I had roots growing after 5 days. I am so excited it grows so fast after peeling the seeds . Thank you for sharing this . 😊😊😊😊😊

I believe we are all here watching this great process.

I just soaked the seeds in water A few hours without peeling, they are now sprouted in soil and doing well, thank you for posting this!

I just want to tell you how amazing ur video is, I just checked my seeds from under the sink after 10 days and all 3 of them sprouted!!!!!! I am planting them in the water bottle jar now!

Thanks young man I love the video and to think thats why my seeds never worked, but now I'm so happy for you to have shown me the greatest way to start. GOD bless you always.

Greetings from Kabul, Afghanistan! ❤ I have just done mine, let's see if they germinate 😊waiting...waiting... Thanks for sharing the video!

Awesome, everyone's getting lemon trees for Xmas.

This method worked so well

🌻I think this is the best and easiest tutorial I have come across, very clear, point by point😊 doesn't get any more simpler then that! Great job, im now germinating about 16 seeds☺thank you👍🌻

I tried the experiment by leaving 1) two seeds with the outer covering, 2) two I removed all of the outer covering, 3) two I removed half of the covering and 4) two I removed 1/4 of the covering. Number three and number four: all four seed germinated on day 5. The number one both germinated on day ten and strangely enough number two, only one germinated on day ten. I potted all of them on the day I removed the coverings and planted them in identical pots with identical potting mix. (Each one of the same type shared one pot.) I put them on top of a heating pad for seedlings, inside a tray with a plastic cover. My theory is that the partial covering protected the seeds, same as the one with the intact covering, but that one took longer because the seeds had to break the covering. The first four already look like tiny little trees on day 15.

I used your video to do my.own and now I have a few shoots coming out of my pots! :)

I did it! I have tow 3 feet tall lemons trees planted in my yard. I saw this video and followed the instructions

i had some really good and sweet Italian lemons a few weeks ago and the person at the shop i bought them from said they won't be getting any more until the pandemic is over, so now here i am, thank you sir!

this was so helpful, i can’t wait to see my seeds sprout 😊thank you for the great advice

So during the this times on my quarantine. I’ve germinated Lemons and I am excited to grow and fruit it! Also bell peppers, habanero peppers and avocados! Amazing! For sure in the next pandemic, In which they are saying in another 20 years or so. I am ready 😂

Thank you for showing how to plant citrus seeds. Very educating and life experience that can pass on to future generations. Many regards. DA

I seen this video years ago, my trees are 13-15 feet tall now :-) Thanks for the advise on peeling the seed. It drastically speeds up the germination .

Thank you. I saw your video and tried i have so many babies germinated . I hope they keep growing. Its time for them to go into soil

My lemon sprouted super tall,thanks so much

Thanks for the tip of peeling the outer seed shell. My Mother-in-law has been just putting her used lemon seeds in a pot of compost. I am going to add this step.

Wow that's so beautiful to my eyes thank you for the up load some times we need people to remind us this an Im going to get me a lemon as soon my shoes are tied.thank u honey for your upload

thanks it works

You could just sliced in half horizontally and squeezed it out like everyone does. Simple and easy, less possible damage to seeds

I watched this video 7 days ago and planted 3 seeds yesterday. I read somewhere that it will not bear fruit but I don't care. I take pride just by growing a lemon tree from a store bought lemon. 😊🍋

Coming here after two years I was super excited when I was planting a lemon trees for the first time, it was also the fist time it actually started growing! I still have my lemon trees from those two years ago they're already so big! The process was so fun that I started planting much more fruits and vegetables now I'm surrounded by my plants all planted from seeds and I love it Thank you so much for this video I wouldn't probably find my passion without it

This is awesome.. i am moving to lyerto ruco eith the intentionad of living of my land..great video..thanks...definitely subscribed

i did it and wala in 9 days , i hve alrady plant it, thnk you sooooo mucht ,

My lemon tree is now 9 months old, growing beautifully..tiny thorns are now developing, thank you.

THX so very much for this info. For some reason I never thought of the need to remove the husk from seeds prior to attempting to root them.

Thnx a lots for this vdo now I have 15 lemon plant🌱

Have you got an update on what these look like now? Would be great to see the results so far!

I have 9 growing very well out of two lemons. Thank you, peace!

This guy my sister introduced me to in 1978 took the protective covering off the seed. My son is 40yrs now.♥️. Lemons are beautiful. The color, the smell. Yes.

Thank you very much. I will try. If some of the people have nothing nice to say why do you even come here?

Okay I am inspired by this video and starting of today. I have peeled 3 seeds and kept 3 unpeeled. Will wait for 10 tp 12 days and get back. We are going into lockdown because of covid 19. Plenty of time to good work.

I've been thinking of what I could use for a pot because I dont have any proper ones, you are a legend and a genius

Thank you for your informative video. I had viewed other videos that used complicated methods to start citrus plants. They looked like way to much effort to get a seed to sprout. Yours on the other hand seemed too simple to work; however, I followed your method using 8 lemon seeds and lo and behold I had 8 seeds sprout. After a month and a half I now have 8 healthy seedlings well on their way to eventually being replanted. Your method way exceeded my expectations. I deviated from your method in one way. I planted the seedlings in peat pots and eventually will transfer them pot and all to a larger container. Once they get big enough I'll separate the seedlings into their own containers. If all the seedlings flourish , I'll keep the best 2 and give away the rest.

Thanks! My lemon is now around 15cm high, after 1-2 months

I remember doing this in pre school . We did it with beans so I believe it could be almost the same with all fruit. Correct me if I'm wrong ofc, Idk anything about this stuff after all. I've put 4 seeds peeled and 4-5 unpeeled. I'll be back with an update😊

My lemon tree is 3 years old and is growing great using this method. Thanks man

Thank you, my lemon seeds have been successful! Growing my own lemon tree :)

Thank you for this superb video. The content was excellent. But, what I enjoyed most was the pace of your delivery, the precision of the instruction with no wasted words; and the silences, enabling me to reflect on and absorb what you said. You are a very gifted teacher. You speak so well you should be on radio or TV! All the best!

Thanks bro i got the help from your video and 12 seeds geminated out of 14 that's pretty good

I tried ur method and it worked 100 percent. Thanks for the tips !

Thanks! My dad has been trying to grow a lemon tree and it didn’t work so I tried this and now I am waiting for it to sprout!

Lel, it's funny, I've done this exact same sprouting method with hemp seeds too :3c

hey just a heads up, the glass cutting board is probably contributing to your knifes getting dull

Thanks for this! We are leaving a rental property that has an amazing lemon tree that is heavy with huge sweet lemons every 3 months and I’ve been looking everywhere for this information since most sources say not to bother. No harm in trying.

I just made lemonade one day 2 years ago took the seeds out dry them and I planted them in potting soil I have a lemon tree growing in my kitchen right now

How about not cutting, but peeling the lemon so you don't damage any seeds?

Loved it

I've actually have two lemon trees growing here in Canada...They way I did was just put the seeds into a pot I never even thought about damaging the seeds.....I worry however if I can grow in a climate such as Canada..Thank you my friend.. my two little trees are growing really nice...

This really works! My lemon plants are growing!!

Thanks for the vid!

youtube: Want to learn how to grow a lemon tree from seeD? 4m people: yes

I wish I could add a photo on here as I would be so proud to show you my little lemon tree seedlings that I have grow after watching your video.

Thank you. I've been trying get some sprouts from some lemon seeds without any luck. Been doing it all wrong. Will do it the right way now!

I'll try this w a lime seed.

I wa tched this vid and now I have a juvenile lemon tree abt 3 inches tall

It really works thank you My lemon seed germinated after 9 days😍

this totally worked for me and I now have a tiny lemon tree!

I planted about a dozen Calamondron seeds straight from the fruit. After a month I gave up on them. Then around the two month mark I noticed a couple had sprouted. Good thing I didn't throw them away. This must be why he peeled the seeds?

i did it yesterday and now i am waiting hehe

I rooted the seeds following your advice. Just got them planted. Let’s see how it goes.

I started one about three years ago. Today it is over 5 foot tall. Still no lemons yet, but getting there. Also started a couple lime trees to go with it, they are only 6 months old so long way to go. Thanks for the videos. Going to try the pineapples next!

Very interesting definitely gonna try this ..... watching july 2019

you don’t have to peel the seeds skin... I grow few lemons trees of seeds with out peeling the skin, I gave them to my friends and I grow one at my girlfriend’s house it’s a big tree now with a lots of lemons 🍋

I just put the lemon seeds I peeled into a damp paper and sealed a plastic bag! Fingers crossed! This was super informative 👏 ❤

It works!! Three out of four seeds germinated... But it took nearly 15 days

I watched your video and I now have about 5 lemon seeds germinating!!

This guy has never cut a lemon in his life before this day!

I tried this method to grow lemon seeds and it's successful. Thanks.

Its so cool how one seed turns into a tree🤯😀

Why I’m i watching this i already have a lemon tree

Thank you so much for the tutorial! btw you have a really pleasant voice to listen to :)
