Notes
'Ponderosa' 1 gallon (Citrus 'Ponderosa') is a shrub for containers and food gardens. 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 and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. Fragrant flowers open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer, and bees visit them. The leaves stay on the plant all year.
Pairs well with Lemon verbena, Natchez crape myrtle, Pinot Noir grape, and Flowering banana.
