🍋 Nimbu (Lemon) Fruit Plant – Description

The Nimbu Plant, also known as the Lemon Fruit Plant (Citrus limon), is a popular evergreen fruit-bearing tree widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions. Known for its vibrant green leaves, fragrant white flowers, and juicy yellow fruits, this plant is valued for both its ornamental appeal and practical uses.

Ideal for home gardens, terraces, and even balconies, the Nimbu plant thrives in full sunlight and well-drained soil. It begins fruiting within 1.5 to 3 years if grown from grafted saplings and requires minimal maintenance once established.

The lemons produced are rich in Vitamin C, commonly used in cooking, drinks, pickles, and natural remedies. With regular care, the plant can yield fruit multiple times a year and live for several decades.
