Do you know where that beautiful lemon tree you have in the garden comes from? It came from a small seed, which later became a tree! If you love this plant, as well as its fruit, and would like to plant another one in your garden, then learn to grow a lemon tree from seeds. Start by getting a lemon, if you do not have any, those from the supermarket are fine, preferably organic.
N.B. Keep in mind that lemon trees are usually grafted, which means that a wild lemon tree will be grown from the seed; you will have to use it as a base on which to graft the fruit-bearing species if you want to obtain abundant and large fruits.
Use a knife to cut the lemon and extract the seeds. Rinse under running water to remove the pulp that surrounds them.
