When to plant lemon in Murray Bridge

  • Plant seedlings: mid Sep to early AprMurray Bridge area, semi-arid

Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Murray Bridge. Microclimates vary: frost hollows and hills run later.

Adelaide's classic backyard fruit tree, giving lemons most of the year. Plant in full sun with free drainage and shelter from strong wind. Citrus are hungry and shallow-rooted: feed in late winter and late summer, water deeply in summer and keep grass and mulch clear of the trunk.
