Notes
'Genoa' lemon (Citrus limon 'Genoa') is a fruit tree for the food garden. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun. Its compact growth suits containers, and it gives good production. White flowers open in spring and again in summer.
Pairs well with Hass avocado, Lemon grass, and Angelonia.
