ʻImproved Meyerʻ LEMON
The Meyer Lemon tree thrives in containers, making it a popular choice for urban and patio gardening. The fruit of the Meyer Lemon is prized for its exceptionally juicy flesh, which is less tart compared to varieties like Eureka or Lisbon. As it ripens, the gourmet Meyer lemon develops a golden hue, adding to its appeal. The tree itself boasts abundant fragrant flowers and fruit nearly year-round, with its heaviest bearing occurring in winter. The term "Improved" refers to the California state-tested, virus-free clone. Furthermore, the Meyer Lemon tree is self-fertile, ensuring reliable fruit production. Grafted onto semi-dwarf rootstock, it typically reaches heights of 6 to 10 feet when planted in the ground, and 4 to 6 feet when grown in pots. With its versatility, delectable fruit, and consistent bearing, the Meyer Lemon tree remains a cherished addition to any garden or container collection.
