Product Description
Origin and Historical Background: Believed to have originated in the foothills of the Himalayas in Northeast India, the lemon has been a cherished fruit for millennia. It traveled along ancient trade routes through Persia and the Arab world to the Mediterranean, where it became a symbol of sunshine, cleanliness, and health. Prized by mariners for preventing scurvy and by nobility for its exotic flavor, the lemon tree has a rich history as a plant of both wellness and wealth.
Health and Environmental Benefits: The primary benefit of this tree is the harvest of fresh, homegrown, organic lemons, packed with Vitamin C and antioxidants, right at your fingertips. Beyond the fruit, the intensely fragrant blossoms have aromatherapeutic qualities, with a scent that is known to be uplifting, purifying, and stress-reducing. The tree also supports vital pollinators like bees, contributing to a healthier local ecosystem.
