The Citrus Lemon is generally not very frost-resistant, especially in colder climates. This tree thrives best in warm to moderate climates where winters are not too cold. At temperatures below freezing, the lemon tree can suffer damage to leaves, branches, and even the trunk. In colder areas, it is often necessary to protect the tree in winter by bringing it indoors or covering it with insulation material.

Preferably prune after flowering.
