Meyer Lemon Tree – Citrus × meyeri

Meyer Lemon is one of the most popular lemon trees for home gardeners because of its sweet-tart flavor, juicy fruit, fragrant blooms, and compact growth. The fruit is rounder and less acidic than many traditional lemons, making it excellent for cooking, baking, drinks, desserts, fresh lemon juice, and edible landscapes.

Meyer Lemon trees produce glossy evergreen foliage, fragrant white citrus blooms, and attractive yellow to orange-yellow fruit. This variety is a great choice for patios, containers, backyard orchards, home gardens, and small-space citrus plantings.
