Overview

This compact citrus variety boasts lustrous, deep green foliage and fragrant white blossoms with purple bases, making it a prized ornamental choice for summer containers and conservatory cultivation. Its fruit, more spherical than traditional lemons, develops a rich yellow hue with subtle orange undertones when mature. Renowned for its sweeter, less acidic profile, Lemon ‘Meyer’offers a uniquely palatable experience, with even its thin, aromatic rind being edible. The dark yellow pulp may contain up to 10 seeds per fruit. While this citrus tree thrives in abundant sunlight, it benefits from some afternoon shade to prevent scorching.

Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that any plant will be sent out with buds, flowers or developing fruit - and occasionally (because of their weight) fruit may become dislodged from the tree while in transit.

Specifications

  • Position: a sunny patio outside, or bright conservatory in winter
  • Soil: moist but well-drained soil (specialist citrus potting mix should be used when potting up)
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Flowering period: April to September
  • Hardiness: tender (needs winter protection)

Care guide

For the best flavour, leave citrus fruits on the tree until they naturally drop when lifted. Water from the top, ensuring excess water drains away, and let the soil dry out between watering—adjusting frequency based on the season and plant conditions. Position your citrus tree in bright light, away from radiators, and consider moving it outside during summer, bringing it backindoors before temperatures drop below 5°C. Use citrus feed with each watering in summer and every 10-14 days in winter. If new growth appears pale, apply a citrus feed to correct nutrient deficiencies. Grow in citrus compost, repotting or top-dressing in late winter.

Warning

Humans: Fruit harmful to skin with sunlight/skin allergen
