The flavor is truly unique, and the fruit is incredibly useful in many ingredients. The tree is hardy and reliable, the tree can produce an abundance of fragrant lemons that are perfect for culinary creations. The Meyer Lemon fruit is slightly rounder and slightly larger than a Eureka lemon.

    Simply said, the Meyer lemons taste sweeter than regular lemons. Meyer lemons have less acidity, a complex flavoring, and a smooth yellow skin. If you live in a mild climate, a Meyer Lemon tree is an excellent choice as an evergreen landscape tree with the bonus of fragrant flowers and flavorful fruit, plus they require minimal maintenance and are easy to grow. The tree positively enhances its surroundings when its flowers release a nice citrus fragrance in the air. Lemons are essential and are used in a variety of ways to positively benefit the culinary experience.

    Plant Care

    The Meyer Lemon Tree needs full sun, moist and aerated soil. Fast drainage for this citrus is essential. Water the lemon tree regularly and consistently the first year for deep roots. Reduce frequency after the plant is established but water deeply. In spring, feed the Meyer Lemon with Gardner & Bloome 8-4-2 Organic Citrus & Fruit Tree Fertilizer. During the spring months you can prune erratic growth or shape as desired.

    The Meyer Lemon Tree is easy to grow in the garden, patio, balcony, or even indoors. For outdoor growing plant your Meyer Lemon in a location that is wind-free, frost-free, and will receive at least 8 hours of full sun in a well draining soil that is porous and aerated.  You may need to add soil amendments like Gardner & Bloome Organics Planting Mix Premium Garden Soil or Kellogg Garden Organics Gromulch 2-in-1 Planting Mix & Mulch to improve drainage if your soil is a heavy clay. Protect your citrus tree from frost with the use of frost cloth when temperatures drop, or plant in a sheltered location close to a house or structure.

    Water your Meyer Lemon regularly and consistently the first year to develop deep roots. As the roots become established in the ground you may reduce the frequency.  Avoid standing water and keep away from shallow frequent watering. In the ground, citrus prefer deep watering less frequently. So many factors will determine how often to water such as temperature, soil porosity, wind, and tree size. Fertilize with Gardner & Bloome 8-4-2 Organic Citrus & Fruit Tree Fertilizer in spring.

    FAQ's

    Q: Can a Meyer Lemon Tree Grow in a pot?
    A: Yes, a Meyer lemon tree can grow in a pot. In fact, container gardening is a popular way to grow citrus trees, including Meyer lemons. However, it's important to note that a Meyer lemon tree in a pot may need more regular watering and fertilizing than a tree planted in the ground. Additionally, the pot should be large enough to accommodate the tree as it grows, and should have drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the bottom.

    Q: When does the Meyer Lemon Tree produce fruit?
    A: The tree typically blooms in the late winter or early spring and produces fruit throughout the year, with peak production occurring in the spring and fall. However, it's important to note that the tree may not produce fruit if it doesn't receive enough sunlight, water, or nutrients, or if it's not properly pollinated.


    Q: Why are the leaves on my Meyer Lemon Tree turning yellow? 
    A: There are a few reasons why Meyer lemon tree leaves may turn yellow:
    Overwatering or underwatering: If the tree is overwatered or underwatered, the roots may not be able to absorb enough water and nutrients, causing the leaves to turn yellow.  Nutrient deficiencies: If the tree is not getting enough nitrogen, iron, or other essential nutrients, the leaves may turn yellow. Pests such as citrus leaf miner or diseases such as citrus greening can cause the leaves to turn yellow. Sunburn: If the tree is exposed to too much direct sunlight, the leaves can become sunburned and turn yellow. Cold Damage: Protect from cold temperatures below 32 ℉. If the tree is exposed to temperatures lower than its tolerance, the tree may shed leaves or the leaves may turn yellow.


    Q: Do Meyer Lemon Trees lose their leaves in the winter?
    A: Meyer lemon trees are evergreen and generally do not lose their leaves in the winter. However, they may shed some leaves during periods of drought, or if they are exposed to subfreezing temperatures or frost. 

    Q: How hardy is the Bearss Lime Tree?
    A: Bearss Lime Tree is hardy to 32℉.  Frost cloth may help protect your lemon tree if temperatures should fall below freezing.

    Q: When is the best time to harvest Bearss limes?
    A: In California, the Persian ‘Bearss’ Lime typically ripens in fall-winter.

    Q: Do I need another lime tree to pollinate my Persian ‘Bearss’ Lime?
    A: No, your Bearss Lime is self fertile and does not require cross pollination.

    Q: Why is my Bearss lime rind yellow and not green?
    A: In warmer tropical climates the fruit remains green, but in cooler climates of California the Bearss lime will turn yellow when ripe.
