Citrus Ponderosa Lemon 10"

The Ponderosa Lemon is a remarkable specimen with roots stretching back to 1887, when Maryland gardener George Bowman discovered this chance seedling. A hybrid of Citron and Pummelo, it delivers outsized rewards in a compact form—fruits can weigh up to 5 pounds while the tree itself stays manageable indoors or on a patio.

Spring brings abundant, fragrant white blossoms followed by emerging lemons that seem determined to grow larger and larger. This variety earned its reputation for relentless fruit production, thriving in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. Perfect for container growing, gift-giving, or adding a conversation-starting focal point to your plant collection.
