When Do Seedlings Get Bark?

When it leaves seedling stage and begins vegetative it is mostly producing leaves and stems at a rapid rate. As a plant grows older, the outer protective tissue undergoes certain changes and becomes bark. I think it can take about 2 to 3 years to get bark and 6 years to get fruit on your lemon tree.

Can seeds grow in bark?
