Lemon Tree in Decorative Planter

Add the incredibly fresh, citrus scent of lemon blossoms to your home by growing a lemon tree. Fragrant white flowers bloom among attractive, glossy green leaves. Lemons begin to appear in the spring and as they mature they help to provide visual interest for the remainder of the year. Lemon trees are extremely hardy and grow well indoors while providing edible fruit to enjoy in beverages, in cooking and as garnishes. The included, color-coordinated metal pot with handles makes it easy to move your tree from one location to another.
