Eureka Lemon vs. Meyer Lemon
The Eureka Lemon Tree and the Meyer Lemon Tree are two popular lemon varieties. Both trees produce large, juicy lemons, but they differ in some important ways.
The Eureka Lemon Tree is a traditional, classic lemon tree that produces large, juicy tart lemons and is the leading commercial lemon variety. The Eureka lemons are thicker-skinned (good for zesting), more acidic (good for marinades), and have a few more seeds than the Meyer lemon. The Eureka Lemon Tree is more vigorous and has an abundance of lemons compared to the Meyer lemon tree.
The Meyer Lemon Tree is a sweeter and less acidic variety of lemon tree. The Meyer tree is smaller and slower growing than the Eureka Lemon Tree. Meyer lemons are round shaped, thinner-skinned, sweeter, and less acidic than Eureka lemons.
If you want to grow citrus fruit in your yard, Eureka and Meyer Lemon trees are both excellent choices. It all depends on your preferences, whether you prefer a sweeter or more acidic lemon flavor, and how big you want your tree to grow.
Citrus needs full sun, moist soil, and aerated soil. Fast drainage is essential. Water regularly and consistently the first year for deep roots. Reduce frequency after plant is established but water deeply. In spring, feed with a balanced fertilizer in spring and prune erratic growth or shape as desired.
