Description

Meyer Lemon Tree – The Most Cold-Hardy Lemon for Indoors and Outdoors

Product Overview:

Bring the zest of fresh lemons into your home or garden with our Meyer Lemon Tree. Known for its unique flavor and versatility, the Meyer Lemon is a hybrid of lemon and mandarin orange, offering a sweeter and less acidic taste than traditional lemons. Perfect for culinary uses and a beautiful addition to any space, this tree is both hardy and easy to care for.

Key Features:

Sun Exposure: Thrives in full or partial sun, making it adaptable to various indoor and outdoor environments. Perfect for growing indoors near a sunny window or outside in a sunny spot.
Cold Hardiness: Meyer Lemon Trees are renowned for their cold tolerance, able to withstand temperatures as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes them the most cold-hardy lemon variety available, ideal for cooler climates.
Compact Growth: In about 10 years, expect your tree to reach a mature height of 12-14 feet when grown outdoors. When grown in containers indoors, the size is typically smaller, making it a great fit for limited spaces.
Harvest Season: Enjoy a bountiful harvest from November through March. The Meyer Lemon produces a substantial yield of fruit with 2-10 seeds per lemon, ensuring plenty of fresh lemons for your favorite recipes.
Grafted for Quality: Each tree is grafted onto a standard rootstock, ensuring strong growth, early fruiting, and superior fruit quality.
Lower Acidity: Meyer Lemons have lower acidity than true lemons, making them perfect for a wide range of culinary uses, from zesting to juicing.
Shipping Restrictions: Please note that due to USDA regulations, we are unable to ship Meyer Lemon Trees outside the State of Florida.

Care Instructions:

Sunlight: For indoor growth, place your Meyer Lemon Tree near a window with ample sunlight. Outdoors, choose a location with full sun exposure.
Watering: Ensure consistent moisture, especially when the tree is establishing roots. However, avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Soil: Plant in well-drained, slightly acidic soil for optimal growth. Consider using a citrus-specific fertilizer to boost fruit production.
Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed, but you can trim to maintain shape and remove any dead or diseased branches.

Can I grow this tree in a container?

Most fruit trees can be grown in a container. Follow the recommendations below...

Start small with a tree in a 3 or 7 gallon container
Every 6-10 months transplant the tree to a higher capacity container
The ideal container size to grow fruit trees is 10-15 gallons, so you can move it indoors during the winter months, if necessary
Make sure your container has draining holes on the bottom of the container, so that any excess water can drain

How to plant this tree on the ground...

Follow the simple instructions below to plant your tree on the ground...

Choose a sunny area for planting with about 15 feet radius of clear space
Dig a hole on the ground... twice the height of the container, if possible
Do not mix any potting soil, manure, fertilizer or anything with the soil when you plant
Take the tree out of the container by laying in the side and slipping the container off, if may be necessary to push and tap the bottom of the plastic container
It is usually necessary to put some of the removed dirt back into the hole
Bury the root ball so the soil level is the same as it was in the container
Leave a mound around the tree for form a basin, fill with water, washing the soil into any empty pockets around the root ball
Now is the time to fertilize. Be extra careful because trees are very susceptible to burning with excessive fertilizing
Recommended fertilizer: 8-3-9 (or similar), with manganese, iron and zinc. Scatter one level tablespoon per foot of tree height (do not apply fertilizer if the tree is flowering or during cold spells of temperature below 60 degrees)
You can spread mulch around the base of the tree, but leave the trunk area uncovered so the tree can breath. Mulch helps to retain humidity

Why citrus trees cannot ship to CA, TX, AZ, LA . . .

Due to the widespread occurrence of Citrus Canker and Citrus Greening (Huanglongbing), the USDA placed the entire state of Florida under quarantine. It is against the law to ship or move trees outside the state unless you receive USDA certification and comply with the USDA compliance agreement. It is still against regulations to ship trees or citrus plant material to California, Texas, Arizona and Louisiana. This regulation exists to protect the citrus industry in those states. Likewise, it is illegal to bring citrus plant material into Florida from anywhere!
