Lemon Tree (Citrus Lemon)




Date Collected: April 4, 2012
Location Collected: The Lemon Tree pictures were taken at a local flower store in Mar Vista.
Clade: The Citrus Lemon is a vascular plant. The plant belongs to the dicot angiosperms and produces fruit.

Habitat: The lemon attains best quality in the coast where the summers are too cool for proper ripening of the oranges and grapefruits. A temperature of twenty degrees Fahrenheit will severely damage the citrus lemon. It is widely known that the lemon tree can grow in infertile, poor soil.
Nativity: The great lemon is native to Asia although it is widely believed that it first grew in Southern India, Burma, and China.
Special notes:  It is largely used in the culinary industry as garnishes, iced  or hot tea , cookies, puddings, icing, preserves, pharmaceuticals, and most importantly lemonade.
