Siberian Lemon is a deciduous shrub or small tree belonging to the Rutaceae family. It is the most cold-hardy citrus. Its peel contains pectin, which is used as a natural thickener for marmalades and jams. Being a citrus species, it is rich in vitamin C. In traditional medicine, it is primarily used for allergies but is also beneficial for weight loss, digestive health, and possesses anti-allergic and antiviral properties. Its effectiveness has long been recognized in oriental traditional medicine. It is also a beautiful ornamental tree, especially attractive when fruiting.
The fruit is very bitter, not edible raw, and less juicy than common lemons. Its flavor and aroma are reminiscent of a combination of lemon and grapefruit.
The fruits are round, 3–4 cm in diameter, initially green, turning yellow as they ripen. They remain on the tree through winter. The peel is slightly rough and not as smooth as a regular lemon.

You can purchase seedlings of Siberian Lemon Tree at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
