Description:
Unlike tart commercial lemons, the Sweet Sambokan offers a smooth, low-acid flavor that’s a treat for fresh eating and gentle citrus-based drinks. This 7-gallon specimen gives you a strong start toward fruiting maturity with a well-formed canopy and established root system, ideal for both in-ground planting and large containers.

The tree produces round, golden-skinned lemons with thin rinds, a soft citrus aroma, and minimal seeds. Fragrant white blossoms in spring lead to harvest-ready fruit from fall through winter. Its naturally compact form and lush evergreen leaves make it as ornamental as it is productive.

Care Tips for South Florida:

• Sun: Citrus loves the sun—plant in full, direct light for maximum fruiting and healthy foliage.

• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during establishment. Water deeply 1–2 times weekly and more frequently during drought or extreme heat.

• Soil: Prioritize drainage. Amend native soil with compost, pine bark fines, or perlite to keep roots breathing and thriving.

• Fertilization: Use a citrus fertilizer every 6–8 weeks from spring through early fall. Micronutrients like iron and magnesium help support lush green leaves and strong yields.

• Pruning: Minimal pruning needed. Shape lightly after fruiting and remove any dead or crossing branches.

• Containers: If keeping in a pot, choose a large, well-draining container with citrus-specific soil mix and a sunny patio spot.
