Anyone here producing lemons/lemon trees for sale?

Looking to plant a few trees.

Ask at a local nursery, or one of those roadside places that sell fruit trees, I have brought a few in the past, not easy to grow, do not like the really hot weather, give them a bit of shade

I do not know what verity lemons are here in Thailand, but the fruit are not the nice shiny yellow ones we have, more of a lime color.

Lemons in Thai seem to be known as Manow-lemon.

I think, but do not know, that they cross-pollinate easily and turn into limes

Otherwise, It is possible to find grafted lemon varieties at plant markets, but look for actively fruiting plants for sale where you can identify the actual fruit you want. Lime and lemon foliage and growth habit can look similar when there is no fruit present. 

 

Kickstart is right about providing afternoon shading, but from my experience that applies mostly for newly planted and young trees. Once a root system is established, preferably in fertilie soil and with adequate deep watering and mulching of the soil surface, maturing trees can take full sun.  Allow a full foliar canopy to grow and shade the soil surface to avoid drying and cooking the all-important beneficial soil biology. I have grown lemons in full sun in Chiang Mai and India and in the Arizona desert.
