The story

The cook's lemon.

An Italian lemon, smaller and bushier than most, that fruits low on the plant and heavily. The fruit is properly sour, juicy and aromatic. It flowers in several flushes, so blossoms and ripe fruit often share a branch.

Light

Full sun, eight hours if you can get it. Indoors, the sunniest window you have, or a grow light in winter.

Water

Water deeply when the top 2 in. of soil is dry. Citrus hates soggy roots more than it hates thirst.

Planting

In the ground in zones 9–11, in fast-draining soil, slightly high. Anywhere else, a pot with drainage holes and a citrus or cactus mix, one size up from the nursery pot.

Sharp, juicy lemons from a plant that fits a balcony.
