Default Lemon Tree Question

Congratulations for getting the plant started. The bad news is that you may
have to wait 10-15 years for any lemons. Almost all productive lemon trees
are grafted on to other root stock. But if you don't care about setting
fruit, then make sure it is getting lots of sunshine and only water after
the soil is on the dry side. I wouldn't fertilize but around twice a year.
You can plant it in a container and move indoors or other protective spot
during the winter.

Good Luck

I started a leomn tree from a seed in a small pot. It is now about 10
inches tall. The leaves, however, are brown around the edges. Is this a
sign of too much watering, too little, or something entirely different?
What should I feed the little tree and when should I move it outdoors or
to
a larger container? I am in the southeastern US with winter time temps
down
to about 20 at times, but generally pretty mild. Any suggestions would eb
greatly appreciated.
