## Description

Citrus × meyeri, known as ???, or the Meyer lemon, is a hybrid citrus fruit native to China. It is a cross between a citron and a mandarin/pomelo hybrid. Mature trees are around 6 to 10 ft tall with dark green shiny leaves. Flowers are white with a purple base and fragrant. These starter plants will produce fruit in about 5 years. As the tree is a heavy fruit-bearing variety, it will provide a large number of lemons each year. The Meyer lemon tree is self-pollinating and produces fruit in the winter months, so it can grow indoors or outdoors all year round. Well suited to an indoor patio, or outdoors , this lovely fruit is sweeter than store-bought lemons, and will make the perfect cup of lemonade, or add a sweet twist to your bakery or culinary delights. Each plant is wrapped in thermal bubble wrap to protect against cold weather.

Review: These are seedlings! Be gentle with them! - Being seedlings they will likely be small at first. Mine was around 4 inches tall. It is in a pot like it is in the picture because the pot I am putting it in is late. The temporary pot I put it in is 12 inches in diameter by 21 inches tall. The blue pot is 5 inches in diameter by 5 inches tall. The seedlings will grow. They will need the bigger pot as a temporary home until they need repotting in 2 years or so. Then they will need at least a 18 inch diameter by 18 inch deep pot. All pots need to have drainage holes in them at all their stages of growth. They can be kept 2 feet tall and 2 feet wide at a minimum in pots. They will grow larger if you plant them in the ground. If you have clay soil follow instructions on how to amend your soil. If you live in a cold climate or have particularly wet ground consider planting these plants in a pot with citrus potting soil mix and compost like rotting leaves. Do not use cedar mulch for these plants. Especially not on seedlings! Preform proper pruning and root trimming to keep them smaller in pots. The permanent pot I have for my little tree, if it makes it that far, is a square pot that is 19 inches at the top, 11.5 inches at the bottom, and 21 gallons in capacity. This is a great size for a mature Meyer lemon tree in a pot. Consider their mature size as they grow before buying them. In the ground they can reach 6 to 10 feet tall and around 4 feet wide. Also keep their in the ground and in the pot sizes in mind before you buy. Make sure you have a space at least 2 feet wide and 4 feet tall for a potted Meyer lemon tree. More for an in the ground tree. And remember, these are the smaller lemon trees. Other varieties except for dwarf varieties are bigger than Meyer lemon trees. Update: My tree has survived its first few months. In is Now October and it has grown from 4 inches to 13.5 inches tall. Might be ready for a little bit of light pruning by next April. I love it. But remember, all citrus grown from seed will not grow true to the parent plant’s form. Only grafted clones will do that. And if grown from seed it can take 7 to 15 years for fruit to emerge on a standard seed grown Meyer lemon. And the fruit will taste different too. Will likely not be as sour as a Eureka lemon, but it will likely not have a sweet floral flavor like a true Meyer lemon either. A lot of people who grow the seed grown Meyer lemons say they taste weird. But if you do not mind a slightly different taste of a lemon fruit, this might work out well for you. But remember, they may not look like a true Meyer lemons, taste like a Meyer lemon, or grow fruit quickly. But they can make good bonsai trees for more experienced bonsai growers. Standard Meyer lemon tree are also the smallest of standard lemon trees. Very compact. But in the ground they can still get huge. But not as huge as 15 foot tall Eureka lemon trees.
Review: Sad little plant - This is the saddest little Mayer lemon plant I’ve ever seen. I really should’ve waited until summer and looked at a nursery nearby. I hope to keep it alive!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: When do you put the plant food in the dirt?**
A: During the growing season only (from late March thru early August), fertilize your citrus plant with a liquid, organic fertilizer – such as liquid kelp, seaweed, or fish emulsion – or an organic granular fertilizer every two to three weeks. Do not fertilize in the winter when new growth should not be encouraged.

**Q: Container. I plan on repotting into a container that will reside on my patio, what size (cu feet) do I need, & how long from arrival to reporting?**
A: I waited about 3 weeks before i put my tree into a 12 inch container. The less times you repot the plant the better. By 12 inch pot i mean 12 inches wide by 10-12 inches deep.

**Q: Are these trees grafted on growing stock?**
A: Hello,
No, these trees are grown from the seeds of the fruit from our mature meyer lemon trees. Gerald

**Q: How long before i see fruit?**
A: Thank you for your question. Depending on whether the tree is planted inside or outside, fruit can be expected to be seen in about 2 - 2.5 years on average. It can be sooner if the growing conditions are optimal, but even indoors it will still produce fruit in time. Thank you. Gerald

Package really well. Arrived on time. The plant looks really healthy. I will enjoy watching it grow to maturity. Due to it being winter I’ll have it indoors near the bathroom window. ❤️🥰
