<There grow> lemons on the tree.
Hello, everyone! :)
I'll be happy if you can help me. Does the phrase below sound good for a native speaker ear? E.g. I want to explain to somebody what fruit grow on the tree. Can I say:
1) There grow lemons on the tree.
Thank you for your help! :)

No that's not correct. You should say "Lemons grow on the tree".

Karl is correct. You would say, "Lemons grow on the tree."
This phrase is specific though. If you want to say where lemons grow generally, you would say: "Lemons grow on trees."

"Lemons are growing on the tree."

If you are talking to someone and are referring to a specific tree, I would say "Lemons grow on that tree".
But "There grow lemons on the tree." isn't as incorrect as people here are saying.
I'm sure it's actually fine as a sentence, to my ear at least.
