Lemon Aspen thrives in Far North Queensland and Sub Tropical New South Wales where it enjoys high rainfall and humidity.

If you’re looking to grow one out of these regions then choose a sunny spot out of the wind and away from frost. The soil you use should be well-draining and remain moist. This tree can in fact handle low temperatures, low water and a mild frost once it is established.

Lemon Aspen can grow it successfully in a pot and it also works well as a hedge and doesn’t mind being pruned. Ideally it should be pruned in its first year so that it can grow in a shrub like shape. In the subsequent years give your tree a light pruning so that sunlight can actually reach the canopy.

It’s also a good idea to mulch the ground before summer.

Use a slow release citrus fertiliser in the springtime.

Until the tree is established water generously.
