Meyer lemon performs particularly well in containers and can grow outdoors in the mildest sheltered positions. Self-fertile and productive, it bears very juicy, fragrant fruit with gentler acidity than a standard lemon. We recommend it to first-time citrus growers. It remains vulnerable to severe frost, while the tender fruit stores and travels less well than commercial lemons.
Meyer Lemon
Price range: 28,00 € through 38,00 €
Meyer lemons are a natural citrus hybrid, one of the easiest citrus varieties to grow in northern climates.
The Meyer lemon is not actually a lemon, rather it is a natural hybrid citrus variety, with Citron / Mandarin / Pomelo ancestry. However the large yellow round fruits have a close resemblance to lemons and have similar uses.
The dull yellow flesh is very acidic but still sweeter than true lemons.
Meyer lemons are a good choice as your first citrus tree – they are cold-hardy, not quite as demanding for summer sun as most citrus, and self-fertile.
