About the Plant: 

It’s fitting that the lemon tree loves warmth and sun, because the lemon is such a cheerful and sunny fruit. With white star-shaped blossoms, sharp thorns on the twigs, and deep green leaves, the lemon tree is the epitome of a bright cheerful day. The tree yields about 200 pounds of lemons in a year, producing a mere one-pound of essential oil. An interesting fact is lemon essential oil is often produced by cold-pressing the peel from the green fruit, not the bright yellow lemon we know and love.
