Plant Description

Citrus limon Sorrento, also known as the Sorrento lemon, is an extraordinary cultivar prized for its intensely aromatic rind, exceptionally juicy flesh, and historic ties to the sun-drenched Amalfi Coast of Italy. Unlike standard lemons, theCitrus limon Sorrento boasts a larger, elliptical fruit with a thick, bumpy, vividly yellow peel rich in essential oils—making it the traditional choice for crafting authentic Italian limoncello. The glossy, evergreen foliage forms a lush backdrop for clusters of white, purple-tinged blossoms that exude a heady citrus fragrance. This fruiting citrus tree displays a graceful, compact growth habit that can be cultivated both in-ground and in large containers, particularly in Mediterranean or temperate regions. Its ornamental and culinary appeal makes it one of the most sought-after lemon varieties, merging beauty, productivity, and cultural heritage. Whether grown for its decorative foliage, intoxicating flowers, or vibrant fruit, the Citrus limon 'Sorrento' remains a symbol of Mediterranean elegance and botanical richness.
