A lemon tree typically has a fibrous root system, which consists of many thin, branching roots that spread out widely in the soil. This type of root system helps the tree efficiently absorb water and nutrients from the surrounding soil. Additionally, lemon trees may also develop some deeper tap roots, especially in search of moisture during dry conditions. Overall, the combination of fibrous and tap roots allows the lemon tree to thrive in various soil types.
Sandy loam and black type of soils are most suited for lemon tree.
To prevent lemon tree root rot, ensure proper drainage, avoid overwatering, and plant in well-draining soil. Treat root rot by trimming affected roots, improving drainage, and using fungicides if necessary. Regularly monitor soil moisture and adjust watering accordingly to maintain the health and longevity of your lemon tree.
It is common for a newly planted lemon tree to drop its fruit; it will take a few years for its root-system to be developed.
