Lemongrass is a versatile herb used primarily for its aromatic, citrusy flavor in culinary dishes and teas. Its tall, grassy stalks can reach 6-8 feet in height and thrive in sunny, warm conditions, making it a valuable addition to food forests, providing a source of fresh, aromatic leaves for cooking and enhancing the garden’s fragrance. Lemongrass is low-maintenance and can be harvested throughout the growing season, making it a practical choice to add flavor and biodiversity to a food forest. To cultivate lemongrass successfully, provide well-drained soil, regular watering, and divide or replant established clumps to encourage healthy growth and maintain a consistent supply of fresh leaves.
