Lemon - Meyer

Versatile Tropical Plant with Superior Fruit

Sometimes called the perfect lemon tree, the Meyer Lemon tolerates versatile growing conditions and produces outstanding fruit. It would be equally spectacular as a houseplant, ornamental patio plant or as a focal point in your yard.

Meyer Lemons can reach 10 feet, but will easily adjust to less than 4 feet indoors. Just when you think the beauty of summer and excitement of fall harvests are done, your Meyer Lemon will surprise you with a November bloom…and repeat it again in the spring!

The dainty white flowers will charm you with their delicate purple base, while their intense citrus fragrance will fill your home or yard with their captivating scent. After the blooms pass, clusters of lemons will appear and begin to ripen.

When not in bloom, your lemon tree will continue to delight with its glossy leaves of deep green and upright, compact appearance.

The Meyer Lemon is rounder, sweeter and less acidic. The fruit also bears a unique hint of orange flavor. The flesh, juice and rind are all highly prized by chefs.

Meyer Lemons are one of the hardiest dwarf citrus trees you can find, and among the most versatile. Bring one into your home today and begin to experience its outstanding benefits.

Quick Overview

The Meyer Lemon is the most popular of all the citrus. In 1908, Mr. Meyer imported the first Meyer Lemon tree from China, where it is grown as a dooryard tree. Meyer Lemon is compact enough even for urban balconies and limited-space gardens. This lemon tree will begin bearing large, juicy, thick-skinned fruit at an early age! Without any fruit, this evergreen would be attractive enough to grow as an ornamental. The leaves are lush and glossy, the small white flowers often bloom indoors in late winter, just when the house needs some color and scent. The flowers are intensely fragrant, and the tree has a habit that is upright and well-branched. Depending on the size of the container and pruning you give it, this tree could reach 8 feet high and 10 feet wide, but can also be kept smaller. Container size is very important. Choose a container that is ample for the tree. A 10-15 gallon container will allow for a 10-feet-tall tree under perfect conditions. Under average conditions, a tree can reach 7-8 feet in a pot this size.
