The Bearss Lemon Tree, also known as the Persian or Tahiti Lemon, is a prolific, seedless citrus variety prized for its smooth-skinned, juicy fruit and vigorous growth. With its glossy evergreen foliage and fragrant white blossoms, the Bearss Lemon adds ornamental value while also being a highly productive fruiting tree. This cultivar produces medium to large lemons with a thin rind, rich lemon flavor, and a tangy aroma that makes them ideal for culinary use, from baking to cocktails. Unlike other lemon varieties, Bearss Lemons are typically seedless and ripen to a pale yellow or light green when mature. Compact in size, the Bearss Lemon Tree is well-suited for container growing on patios or indoors with adequate sunlight. When planted in the ground in warmer climates, it can reach a mature height of 10–15 feet, but its size can be easily managed through pruning. This variety is self-pollinating, which means a single tree can produce fruit without the need for a second pollinator. Adaptable and productive, the Bearss Lemon Tree is a top choice for home gardeners seeking reliable yields, attractive foliage, and zesty, flavorful fruit nearly year-round in warm climates.
Sunlight Requirements: The Bearss Lemon Tree thrives in full sun and should receive at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. For indoor growing, position near a bright, south-facing window or supplement with grow lights to maintain healthy foliage and flower production.Watering Needs: Maintain consistently moist but well-drained soil. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid letting the tree sit in standing water, especially in container setups, to prevent root stress and ensure proper growth.Soil Preferences: Prefers a well-aerated, slightly acidic soil mix with excellent drainage. A sandy loam or citrus-specific potting mix works best. Amend heavy soils with perlite or sand to improve drainage and aeration around the root zone.Temperature Tolerance: Best suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 9–11 when grown outdoors. Protect from temperatures below 32°F by bringing potted trees indoors or using frost cloths. Ideal indoor temperatures range from 60–80°F for steady growth and fruiting.Physical Characteristics: Features glossy, dark green leaves and clusters of fragrant white blooms that develop into medium to large, seedless lemons. The fruit is round to slightly oval, with smooth skin and a bright, tart flavor—ripening typically in late winter to early spring.

Testimonials





Natalie"Came in perfect condition--thank you!"
Matthew"Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."
Nathaniel"This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"
Trisha"Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"
R"This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
