Tips
Lemons are considered one of the best money-making crops when processed into Lemonade at the Juicer (sells for ~750 coins each).
With three growing seasons, lemon trees produce fruit for most of the year. Only Summer is excluded.
Plant multiple lemon trees to keep a steady supply for Lemonade production.
The 1,100 coin sapling cost is higher than Intermediate tier trees, but the returns from Lemonade more than justify the investment.
Combine lemon trees with Sugarcane farming to have all ingredients for Lemonade on hand.
