Citronelles (Bush Lemon)

Posted by Cactusrequiem Zone 8 SC (My Page) on

I maybe a little confused, hopefully someone can set me straight. Are Bush Lemons native to the UK? If so does anybody have any idea where I can get some seeds? I have seen a couple of websites that state they are very easy to grow from seed. That they are very seedy, and that they are very fragrant. I was also mislead, thinking they were native to Australia. Please Help!
Thank You!

RE: Citronelles (Bush Lemon)

Definitely NOT native to this area! We have mild winters, so you classify our gardening as zone 8, 9 or even 10, but our summers are nearer to your Zone 5. Some places over here have had overnight frosts in the last week.

If you're talking about a variety of Citrus limon, they do grow it in Australia - see the link below.

It would surely be easier for you to find a fresh fruit and collect the seeds yourself?

Here is a link that might be useful: Bush Lemon
