: I would like to start a lemon tree from a seed. Could you please send to me, information on how to go about this... as in.. do I need to dry the seed before planting.. do I need to let it sprout before planting it in soil...

: I've planted other fruit trees from seed, but I have no idea how to start a lemon tree. Any information you could send would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Lemon tree. It was started from a seed like u have requested information. How i went about doing this is; 1st i cut the lemon (mind u i love 2 eat lemons so..) then after i was finished with the lemon i took ALL of the seeds and took a small pot and filled the pot with topsoil and placed the seeds in the soil approx. an inch deep. By the way do not let the seeds dry out otherwise the seeds will go into there dormant stage and u'll have no result. Trust me it works. I wouldn't plant the seeds directly in the ground at 1st but u can try and see what happens. By the way i live in Ohio and it worked 4 me but the only drawback that i have is that i have 2 keep my tree in a pot and bring it in in the winter months. Well thats about all u really need 2 know its fairly simple. Just when u start from seed make sure that u water regularly so that the soil doesnt dry out. Good luck hope everything works out any more questions that u have feel free to e-mail me and I'll try and help u out as much as i can.
