The story

The lemon that made patio citrus possible.

A natural cross of lemon and mandarin with rounder, golden fruit that's sweeter and less sharp than a store lemon. The thin rind is fragrant enough to zest whole. It's compact and fruits young, which is why it's the patio citrus everyone starts with.

Light

Full sun outdoors; the sunniest window indoors.

Water

Water deeply when the top inch dries, then drain.

Planting

Pot with drainage holes and citrus mix. In the ground in mild-winter areas.

It flowers, smells great and fruits in a pot, often in its first couple of years.
