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.
