Grafted, not seed-grown. That matters: a grafted lemon fruits in two to three years. A seed-grown one takes five to seven, and often never fruits true.

How to keep it well

Light
Full sun, six hours or more. A terrace or an open balcony — this is not an indoor plant.
Water
Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. In peak summer a potted tree may need water daily.
Feeding
A citrus feed every six weeks from March to October. Yellowing leaves usually mean it is hungry, not thirsty.
Fruits in
Two to three years from grafting, because ours are grafted onto established rootstock.
Grows to
1.5 to 2 metres in a pot. A 12 inch pot to start, larger in its third year.
In Lahore
Shelter it from frost in late December and January. Against a wall is usually enough.

The graft union is the swollen joint low on the stem. Never let shoots below it grow — they are rootstock, and they will take over.
