Lemon Myrtle grows naturally in subtropical climates and prefers a nutrient rich moist soil of a medium to heavy texture but well drained. Plant in full sun with protection from strong winds. Young trees are particularly frost tender and irrigation is required through dry weather. Enrich soil before planting with well rotted compost and slow release fertiliser.
