I tried this years ago and got a very attractive lemon tree
that lived on my back deck during the warmer months. Never
got any fruit, but it sure looked pretty.

I didn't do anything special to start the seed; just stuck it
into a four inch pot with seed starting mix. It was on a whim,
so I didn't have any special prep materials around in any case.

I kept having to transplant it into a bigger pot almost every
year. During the winter months, I had to drag it into my
house to winter over. The last year I did this, the poor thing
got a powdery mildew like substance on the leaves and finally
gave up the ghost.

What are you planning on doing with the lemon plant during the
colder months (unless you're in an area that is citrus-friendly)?

Good luck!

Nyssa, who really was proud of that tree, but it was a real
PITA to drag that huge pot around after a few years
