<h2>Ponderosa Lemon (24–32″)</h2>
<p>Giant lemon with an intense fragrance: very large fruits, thick aromatic rind, and abundant tangy juice.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Botanical name:</strong> <em>Citrus × limon ‘Ponderosa’</em>.</li>
<li><strong>Flavor &amp; uses:</strong> Bold, classic lemon flavor; perfect for lemonade, fragrant zest, baking, and cooking.</li>
<li><strong>Ideal if:</strong> you want a spectacular, highly ornamental lemon tree with impressively large and fragrant fruits.</li>
<li><strong>Good to know:</strong> very vigorous and floriferous variety; can carry flowers and fruits almost year-round in good conditions.</li>
<li><strong>Growth habit &amp; size:</strong> branching fruit shrub with strong growth; very easy to control in containers through pruning.</li>
<li><strong>Relative hardiness:</strong> not hardy in Canada; must be grown in a pot and always protected from frost.</li>

<h3>Care Guide – Growing in Canada</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Light:</strong> full sun 6–8&nbsp;hours per day (south-facing window, greenhouse, or outdoors in summer after acclimation).</li>
<li><strong>Soil mix:</strong> very well-draining potting mix such as Pro-Mix HP or similar, with added perlite.</li>
<li><strong>Watering:</strong> allow the top of the soil to dry between waterings; never let water sit in a cachepot.</li>
<li><strong>Fertilizer:</strong> citrus or fruit tree fertilizer every 2–3&nbsp;weeks during the growing season.</li>
<li><strong>Temperature:</strong> bring indoors before night temperatures drop below 5&nbsp;°C; never expose to frost.</li>
<li><strong>Winter care:</strong> very bright, cool to moderate room; reduce watering without letting the soil fully dry out.</li>
</ul>
