When life doesn’t give you lemons. . . grow them. The Meyer Lemon tree is an improved lemon tree cultivar that produces sweet, juicy lemons. The fruits this tree produces are often described as ’rounder’ and ‘less seedy’ than your typical lemon. Brought to the United States from China in 1908, this citrus tree has since climbed the ladder in popularity and become an icon in the world of plants that grow indoors and out. The Improved Meyer Lemon Tree made our Trendiest House Plants of 2020 list and has since remained a popular indoor plant throughout the years. Meyer Lemon Trees(citrus Limon ‘Improved Meyer’) grow fragrant white blooms andlater produce fruits. As Meyer Lemon Trees mature, they will bear more quantities of fruit. The fruits are green when growing, but after several months of tender love and care, they turn a vivid yellow when ripe. The ideal time for harvest is when the fruit is yellow and soft to the touch. Your Meyer Lemon Tree requires bright indirect light and a well-draining soil medium. A south-facing window is the ideal location for this sun-loving tree. It is important to note that Fruit-producing trees do not enjoy soain wet soil for long. A chunky potting soil blend and a container with drainage holes are essential for the well-being of your citrus tree. Your Lemon tree will also benefit from applying a slow-release fertilizer high in nutrients. We recommend using Espoma Citrus Tone in the spring and early summer. While many choose to grow Meyer Lemon Trees outdoors, you may decide to grow your tree in a container and bring it indoors for the winter if you live in a colder growing zone. When grown in containers, these trees typically reach a mature height between four and five feet tall.
