Meyer Lemon Tree (Citrus × meyeri 'Meyer')

Meyer Lemon – Sweet, Thin-Skinned Citrus Hybrid

It produces abundant, rounder, thin-skinned fruits that are sweeter and less acidic than true lemons, with a distinctive floral aroma. The tree is compact, nearly thornless, and blooms and fruits year-round in favorable conditions. It is an excellent container plant for patios or indoors in cooler climates, requiring full sun, well-drained soil, and regular feeding.
