The Zagara Bianca Lemon is an evergreen citrus plant, renowned for its remarkable beneficial properties. While it shares a similar growth habit, leaves, and shape with the traditional lemon, it stands out for its immaculate white flowers. The fruit is medium-sized, with an elliptical shape and rounded tip, featuring a delicate pale yellow skin.
To ensure healthy growth, it’s recommended to place the plant in a sunny location and water it regularly during the spring and summer months. In winter, however, it’s important to reduce both the frequency and amount of watering, as the plant enters a period of dormancy.
Any doubts about the quantity to order? Nutritionists suggest a daily consumption of 2-3 oranges per adult, about 5 kgs per week. For a glass of orange juice (250 ml), about 700 grams are needed.
