Citrus limon
Evergreen citrus tree that fruits year-round in warm climates. Dwarf varieties work in pots.
Needs frost protection. Feed with citrus fertilizer regularly. Meyer lemons are best for containers.
Toxic to cats and dogs (psoralens, essential oils in peel/leaves) — can cause GI upset and photosensitivity; fruit flesh in tiny amounts is low-risk but not recommended.
Informational only — always check with a veterinarian if you suspect your pet has eaten something it shouldn't have.
Fruit is a well-documented dietary source of vitamin C — food value, not a medicinal preparation.
Informational only, not medical advice — consult a healthcare provider before using any plant medicinally.
