Plz tell me may i grow china lemon in container....? and if i grow china lemon in container, it will give fruits or not....?

Yes Chinese grafted lemon will grow easily in containers and fruit also

Since it is a proper tree,plant it in a large container for a good growth.Interestingly,as per Agriculture Dept (NARC) a Chinese Lemon in container bears fruit round the year,whereas one in ground does it for 4-5 months ie Nov-Mar; reason not known to me.However,I would be able to confirm if it is correct or otherwise by mid next year,as I have both categories,presently bearing fruit-those in ground very heavily laden.

China lemon taste like that ordinary lemon or Has different taste? Is it available in nurseries easily?

In fact, this is the ordinary/common lemon now,probably the only one sold in nurseries these days.Taste not much different from the erstwhile/almost extinct local lemon.

JazakAllah Munir sb. You are absolutely right. "Har Maal China"

Lemon trees tend to grow fast and even if placed in even a large pot would would need shifting within two years as roots tend to grow very fast. Would suggest growing it in ground.

yes i grow china lemon in 14'' pots as well as in container (ghee ten) and it give us fruit also

My china lemon and kaghzi lemon plants both have little differences.
