Meyer Lemon Tree Meyeri Citrus Variety
Meyer Lemon Tree Meyeri Citrus Variety
Meet the Meyer Lemon Tree (Citrus × meyeri), a compact evergreen citrus native to China. Introduced to the US through Frank Meyer, this variety is prized for its sweet, juicy flavor and thin, fragrant skin. It’s thought to be a hybrid between a regular lemon and a mandarin orange, giving a unique sweetness and floral aroma.
This tree features glossy, dark green evergreen leaves that release a sweet citrus scent when crushed. It typically grows 6-10 feet tall, making it suitable for containers or small gardens. Meyer Lemons are highly productive, often yielding fruit multiple times a year, especially in warm climates. The medium-sized fruits have smooth, thin skin that turns from deep yellow to orange as they ripen; flesh is juicy, less acidic, with a sweet-tangy flavor and hints of mandarin. They are versatile for baking, cooking, fresh lemonade, cocktails, marmalades, lemon curd, and candied zest. While lemons are generally cold sensitive, the Meyer variety shows higher cold hardiness than most lemons thanks to its mandarin heritage.

Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!

Product is great. Didn't care for having to pay am extra $17 tariff to UPS to get it delivered, but I guess that's not your doing. Thank you Mr. President.
My new babay arrived safely and only lost two little leaves so far. The first one I ordered from different shop arrived with two leaves attached that fell off within ten minutes of unboxing and 22 leaves that had came off during shipping. So glad she arrived looking as beautiful as i was hoping. Also had a surprise red arrow syngonium cutting that’s beautiful. Also customer service was amazing. Will definitely order from them again. Hoghly recommend this shop.
Great flag and it works well on our hangar ceiling. A little worried it wouldn't arrive in time for our event but it did.
Enjoyed putting them together
I think I’m in love! This beauty came delicately packaged. Seemed to have no stress at all from shipping. I live in Miami, I was worried about shipping all the way from California. To my surprise she arrived well taken care of already. I can tell this grower takes pride in caring for these babies. Shipping was fast. I just ordered again same day!
