Hard to believe this little lemon tree grew from a seed. I learned how to soak the seed into sprout from Youtube. And I grew this little sprout and then moved it to my dad's balcony when the sprout was bigger.
Now this lemon tree grows "bigger" and you can compare to the one besides it. They were seeds from the same lemon and they became to sprouts at the same time. But one is big and the other is still small, very interesting.
My dad likes this lemon tree a lot and takes good care of it. I wonder how long we can have the harvest

@JudyEv Yes. 5 to 6 years is also what I had heard. But the one I've is a grafted one. So people say it'll not take that long before it bears lemons.

@abhi_bangal A grafted one should have fruit much sooner than one grown from a seed.

Mom grew lemon trees from seeds when I was around 10 years old. I think she started getting lemons when the trees were around five or six years old.
I hope the little lemon tree grows up big like its sibling.

@DaddyEvil You can see they also plant at the same place and they still grow differently

@youless Most of the time, if a plants sprout from seeds at the same time, then they grow the same... It's weird to see two trees that sprouted together not be the same size. Did one get fertilizer and the other not get any?

@allknowing My dad also has an avocado tree and it was also grew from a seed by me I can't expect it will have fruits because avocado is difficult to have fruits if we plant like this. Since the lemon tree grows so well, my dad often thinks we will have a harvest soon.

I have searched it. It will take 3 to 7 years to bear fruit.

@youless That's the result of the study. Anyway it takes patience to wait for the lemon tree to bear fruits. Once it has already bore fruits, it bears then fruits every year.

The world is small and their are coincidences always. Even I've a small lemon tree - sapling to be honest. I have bought it from a nursery, however. It's not as big as your's though.
But how is it that one is the bigger one and the other is small when it grew sprouts simultaneously?

I read that it can take a few years for lemon trees to produce lemons
I have never ever even seen a lemon tree before

I somehow do not think our climate would be good to grow these lemon trees

You have a green thumb, that is what we call people who can grow plants.

I do hope that you get loads of fruit. I had a lemon tree bush it only lasted a couple of years ….there wasn’t much fruit.
