Have any questions?
Is it possible to find lemon farms for sale with irrigation?
Yes. In fact, most lemon tree farms for sale are typically irrigated. This is because lemon trees require a constant water supply for their proper development.
However, it is also possible to find, though to a lesser extent, properties dedicated to dryland lemon cultivation.
When does a lemon farm start producing lemons?
A lemon tree farm can take between 3 and 5 years to produce lemons. The lemon tree is a plant that can remain in production for 20 years, although its useful life can exceed 50 years, and even reach 70 years.
What varieties of lemons are produced in Spain?
The two main lemon varieties produced in Spain are Mesero, also known as the fine variety, and Verna. However, other varieties have also been cultivated in the country in recent years, such as Eureka and Lisbon, which come from the United States.
Mesero. This is the most important variety, as it accounts for more than 70% of the lemon production in the country. Its cultivation is mainly found in the Region of Murcia, the Valencian Community, and Andalusia. The fruits of this variety are smaller in size than those of the Verna variety. These lemons are used both for fresh consumption (homemade juices and refreshments or for seasoning) and for the production of natural juices and concentrates.
Verna. This native variety of unknown origin is the second most important variety in Spain, accounting for more than 20% of the national lemon production. The Verna variety is produced in Murcia, the Valencian Community (especially in the province of Alicante), and Andalusia (mostly in the provinces of Málaga and Almería).

What is the importance of lemon cultivation in Spain?
The cultivation of lemons in Spain dates back to the Islamic era, when the Arabs introduced it and began to cultivate it systematically on the Iberian Peninsula. Currently, Spain is one of the leading lemon producers in Europe, producing around 65% of the total lemon production in the EU. The quality of Spanish lemons, derived from favorable climatic conditions in some regions, makes it a highly demanded product in international markets.
The cultivation area of this citrus fruit in Spain is mainly distributed in the Region of Murcia, which is the community that dedicates the most surface area to its cultivation, with 28,426 hectares, the Valencian Community (16,419 ha), and Andalusia (7,479 ha). It is also cultivated, although to a lesser extent, in the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Galicia, the Basque Country, and Catalonia.
