Explanation:
Is lemon a herb, shrub or tree?
It is never classed as a herb. A herb is botanically a green fleshy fibrous plant such as a banana plant, angelica, weeds such as dandelions, but culturally includes slightly woody small growing plants such as thyme, marjoram, basil etc. Yeah, I know the distinctions are confusing. Maybe it is better to avoid the word herb and stick to words such as spice or condiment.
Lemons grow on a small vigorous treethat can be pruned or dwarfed to be a shrub if you wish. The rind can ve used as a spice as can the leaves. Along with limes, the juice is the most commonly used condiment in the world apart from salt, black and white pepper now.
Lemon is a tree. It is frost sensitive, and can’t be grown in very many areas. It’s very thorny. There are, however, ‘taste alikes’. Lemon balm is an herb in the mint family that is very frost hardy. The leaves can be substituted for lemon juice in
