Pyramid Lemon Tree
4 Seasons Lemon
- If you're after an unusual (but utterly brilliant) plant for your garden, then it's got to be the pyramid lemon tree! Featuring multiple stems trained around a pyramidal frame, this evergreen ticks both the unique and stunning boxes.
- Boasting fragrant white flowers throughout the year, as well as its zesty yellow fruits, this tree (also known as the 4 seasons lemon) will add oodles of Mediterranean charm wherever its planted. Perfect for patio and balcony growing, this tree should be brought indoors or placed under glass over winter.
- You can use your lemons in all manner of dishes and desserts, from Greek chicken to a traditional drizzle cake, and of course, as a garnish in your favourite cocktail.
- All your lemon tree will need is a light trim each year to help keep that lovely, distinctive shape. This is best done in late winter around February time.

Will this grow in my garden?
Can I grow this in a pot?
Yes, the Pyramid Lemon Tree thrives in a pot, which is highly recommended in the UK. Keeping it in a container allows you to easily move the plant indoors or into a greenhouse or conservatory when temperatures drop below 5°C during the colder months. Plant it in a specialist citrus compost and ensure the pot provides excellent drainage to prevent waterlogging.
How big does it get?
It typically grows to a height of 1 to 1.5 metres, making it ideal for patio containers and conservatories.
How much sunlight does this need?
It thrives in full sun and needs at least 6 to 8 hours of bright light daily, meaning you should move it outdoors in summer and keep it in a bright, cool room (above 5°C) in winter.
What kind of soil does this plant prefer?
This citrus tree requires well-drained, slightly acidic soil, so you should use a specialist citrus compost or a mix of loam-based compost and bark.
How much watering does this plant need?
Water freely in summer but allow the top 2cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Use rainwater if possible. Reduce watering in winter.
Will this plant need pruning?
Minimal pruning required. Thin out crowded branches in spring to allow light into the centre and maintain a tidy shape.
How hardy is this plant?
The 4 Seasons lemon is a tender citrus tree (H1C) that cannot withstand UK frosts. It is best grown in a container on a sunny patio during the summer and must be moved to a frost-free, bright indoor location before temperatures fall below 5°C.

Start with a touch of continental sun
Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
