Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for lemons (e.g. 'Eureka', 'Lisbon'). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Lemons are chilling sensitive and also sensitive to ethylene, so avoid prolonged cold storage and keep them away from ethylene-producing produce to limit pitting, senescence and decay. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
