Lemon Villa Franca

Villa Franca Lemon Tree

The Villa Franca Lemon tree bears large sized fruit through summer. The fruit are bright yellow, juicy, and somewhat tart. The glossy, dark green foliage provides a lovely backdrop to the small, white flowers in summer. This heavy cropping shrub typically grows to 3 m tall and the same wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. Best performance with this variety is achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, protected from heavy frost, though it will tolerate moderate frost once established. The Villa Franca Lemon tree is commonly included in a mixed planting or maintained either in a container or in a courtyard garden.
