EricTh Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Has anybody grown any yellow lemon trees in Thailand before? Is it easy? Where can I get a small lemon tree to buy in Chiang Mai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 They must have them somewhere because our neighbors have us some her sister grew....So they are somewhere.... My neighbor said Thais don't like them - can't be used for Thai cooking.... We made lemonade.... There's a huge garden, landscaping market behind the Tesco off the super highway just as the highway downsizes into a section with traffic lights.....North of the Central Mall about 3-5 kilos..

That's a really nice big lemon you have there. Lemons are expensive to buy in Thailand. How long does it take for you to grow your lemon tree? Does it need a lot of water and fertilizer?

1FinickyOne Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 We have 2 lemon trees on the property in CM - - I don't think there is much looking after done - and there always seem to be plenty of fruit... I boil them with apples and make delicious juice... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lived in Las Vegas and limes were expensive when compared to the large annual crop of lemons we got from our tree. We bought a motorized juicer and would save enough frozen juice to last a year. The rest of the lemons were given to a friend who owns the Lotus of Siam restaurant. We put the juice in little to-go sauce cups and froze it. The resultant Thai dishes were excellent.

JonnyF Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 We have around 10 lemon trees on our farm in Korat. 2 of them I bought. The others I grew from seed. They are pretty hardy, easy to grow and give lots of fruit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelseafan Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 What is the Thai word for Lemon, my understanding is that it's Manow, the same for lime Jolly difficult to order a proper G&T in a bar ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
