Commonly Asked Questions

How do I look after my  Lemon Espalier?

Espaliered fruit will continue to grow beyond the current lattice. You can snip off the existing lattice to attach a larger lattice or an additional one. Espaliered fruit grows well along guide wires also. Plants can also be pruned back to smaller sizes to suit compact gardens. Tight on space? Consider a dwarf espalier.

 

How do I get my Lemon Espalier to produce delicious fruit?

A well-hydrated plant will produce juicy fruit. The location of the Espalier is especially important, as citrus will prefer a full sun location. Look into disease prevention to ensure your plant is healthy, and use a fertiliser specially designed for citrus. Good draining is also a must, along with a layer of mulch, which will help keep the soil’s moisture.

 

When do lemons produce fruit?

It can take a couple of years for lemons to produce fruit; be patient and look after your plant’s health, and you will be rewarded. Lemons will produce fruit in the warmer months of the year, with Eureka being the most popular choice for the largest fruit crops with the longest duration.
