People keep lemons as houseplants. I believe you need a Meyer Lemon hybrid though, to be successful.

The tree will be stressed when it’s indoors over winter, so be vigilant about BUGS - Whitefly and Scale may end up being a problem.

Here’s what Bob Vila has to say about it:

I used to sell them at Jung’s in our Atrium. They always sold out, but I do remember people DID return looking for solutions to their bug problems, so that’s what sticks in my head about growing lemon trees inside...at least up here on The Frozen Tundra! ;)

Thank you! I am now researching places to get the dwarf lemon trees that Bob recommends.
