Grow an Indoor Lemon Tree + MORE Exotic Potted Citrus Trees

Are you thinking of growing a potted olive tree? Or maybe you already have one…but you’re still waiting for olives. Olive trees are tough as nails. They can take more cold than many people realize. And they’re really beautiful, too. Put these all together, and you have a great potted plant for a cold-climate garden.
In my new book, Grow Olives Where You Think You Can't, I tell you everything you need to know to successfully grow an olive tree in a pot!

Tried growing a potted lemon tree but it didn’t thrive?

Citrus expert Byron Martin has the solution. And it’s not difficult.

AND he also has recommendations for other unusual potted citrus trees. 

We talk about finger limes, blood limes, pomelo, sweet lemon, sunquat, kumquat, citron, and more.

For all of these citrus trees in pots, proper watering is the key to success. We hear how to water—and what to expect from potted citrus trees in the fall. (Spoiler alert: If your lemon tree drops leaves when you bring it indoors, you’re not alone!)

We also find out about Byron’s favourite rootstock for citrus grafting.

If you’re looking for more on indoor lemon trees, here’s a guide to growing a lemon tree in a pot (that actually fruits!)
