The answer is a lemon
That is, if the question is - "What is the subject of those pictures?"I'm really pleased with my lemon tree. It's about as tall as I am now and has the two (green) lemons shown in the first picture, which are about small egg size now. Lots and lots of flowers but I don't know if they will set fruit? The tree is supposed to bear fruit for the majority of the year. The flowers are beautifully fragrant.
Not great pics - apologies
does I once grew a lemon tree from a pip and it reached about 8 inches before expiring

Re: The answer is a lemon
It can take down to -5C apparently.It needs citrus compost and weekly feed - not a lot else.
Mine is 'lovin it' under the veranda
I got it mail order (internet order I suppose) from gardenbargains and am very pleased with the condition it was in, secure packaging etc. It is a proper little tree, a nice straight single stem and it's as tall as me now

Re: The answer is a lemon
Here's the link - there's even a video. They say OK down to -5C.I've got one of those tubular fleece covers for the winter if it's hard but -5 is pretty rare here. We did carry it in and out of the garage in those cold February/March nights earlier this year but only because it was newly arrived. It's in terracotta now, so would be too heavy anyway.
I'd imagine you might have to bring yours into the conservatory sometimes Moli, though they're not 'designed' to be total indoor plants
