My husband bought me a lemon tree (Variegated Eureka)
for Mother’s Day. We live in Graham and I am not sure how to care for and over winter this tree. It came with every little info. Can you please help me.
Thank you, Meri
It is a semi-dwarf

When husbands give lemons, you can make lemon-ade - but only if you promise to move the tree into the house or heated greenhouse over the winter. Make the move in mid September and grow the tree indoors near a bright and sunny window watering only after the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Fertilize in the spring and move the potted plant back outdoors in May after all danger of frost is past. Enjoy the sweet-smelling blooms as well as the tart-tasting fruit. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
