Lemon tree, Banzahir or Lomi tree, shrub or tree with many trunks, its original homeland is Southeast Asia, and it is one of the most sensitive citrus species to cold, yet it is not rare in Riyadh where severe frost can occur in winter. It is suitable for cultivation in protected gardens with other trees, and it has large white flowers with a fragrant aroma in spring, and it produces round greenish-yellow fruits when ripe. The dark green leaves have thorns at their base. There are cultivated varieties that are thornless at the base and less acidic. Lomi shrubs need sunny locations, good fertilized and moist soil, and can tolerate some drought if the soil is deep. Frost destroys the leaves and kills the branches. It also grows well in pots near ponds, and it is suitable for public and private gardens. It is attacked by insects, and pruning should be done at the beginning of spring before flowering. However, severe pruning affects the aesthetic shape and health of the tree because wounds take time to heal. When the wound is more than 3 cm, it should be covered, and simple pruning gives the tree a dense shape.
