Improved Meyer Lemon

Citrus × meyeri ‘Improved’

Grow your own lemons! Delicious fruit, wonderfully fragrant blossoms, and evergreen foliage. Be generous with fertilizer and you'll be rewarded with fruit for many years to come.

Meyer Lemons are thought to be a cross between lemons and oranges. It was first brought to the USA by USDA plant explorer Frank Meyer in 1908, from Beijing China.

Meyer Lemons have a remarkable ability to bloom multiple times per year, whereas most citrus will only bloom - and therefore produce a crop - only once per year.

The tender and juicy fruits do not handle shipping well, which is why Meyer Lemons are mainly grown by adventurous gardeners and citrus enthusiasts.

Bring indoors when temperatures drop below 50°F degrees and place by a large bright window, or use supplemental lighting.
