ʻO ka lemon ka hua o ka lāʻau lemona. ʻO ia mau lāʻau no ka genus o nā mea kanu citrus. Ke ulu nei lākou ma ke ʻano he kumu lāʻau a kumu lāʻau a hiki i ke kiʻekiʻe o ʻelima a 25 mau mika.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻohi mai ka lāʻau lemona ʻehā manawa i ka makahiki. ʻO ke kala pololei e pili ana i ka manawa o ka makahiki: ʻo ka mea āu e ʻike ai ma ka hale kūʻai, nā hua melemele, mai ka hāʻule a me ka hoʻoilo. Huli nā hua i ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo i ke kauwela a aneane keʻokeʻo i ka puna.
No Asia mai ka lemona. I ka wā kahiko, lawe ʻia lākou i ʻEulopa. No ka manawa lōʻihi, ua nui ke kumukūʻai. Ua mahalo mua ʻia lākou no ko lākou ʻala. Ma hope mai, ʻai pū ʻia nā huaʻai. Nui ka huaora C i loko o nā lemona.
I mea e ulu ai nā kumulāʻau lemona, pono ka mahana a me ka haʻahaʻa. Ma ʻEulopa, aia wale lākou ma nā ʻāina a puni ke Kai Mediterranean. Eia nō naʻe, loaʻa i kekahi poʻe i loko o ka hale ʻōmaʻomaʻo a i ʻole ma ka home. I kēia lā, ulu ka hapa nui o nā lemona ma Mexico a me India.
