Common Names: Meyer LemonFamily: RutaceaeOrigin: China Meet the Meyer Lemon Tree, a highly-regardedCitrus fruit tree native to China and introduced to the US through Frank Meyer, the fruits namesake. This Meyer Lemon Tree (Citrus meyeri) is a beloved citrus variety prized for its sweet, juicy flavor and thin, fragrant skin. Unlike typical lemons, Meyer Lemons are thought to be a hybrid between a regular lemon and a mandarin orange, which gives them a unique sweetness and floral aroma. This compact, evergreen tree is a favorite among home gardeners for its prolific fruit production and versatility in culinary uses, making it a must-have for any citrus lover. Distinctive Features and Uses Fruits: Meyer Lemons are medium-sized, with a smooth, thin skin that turns from deep yellow to orange when fully ripe. The flesh is juicy, less acidic than other lemons, and has a sweet, tangy flavor with hints of mandarin. The fruit is perfect for a wide range of culinary applications, from baking and cooking to making fresh lemonade and cocktails. Meyer Lemons are also ideal for preserving in marmalades, lemon curd, or as candied zest. Leaves: The tree has glossy, dark green leaves that are evergreen, adding year-round beauty to any garden or patio. The leaves are aromatic when crushed, releasing a sweet citrus scent. Growth Habit: Meyer Lemon trees are compact and bushy, typically growing 6-10 feet tall, making them ideal for container growing or small gardens. They are highly productive, often yielding fruit multiple times a year, particularly in warm climates. Keep in mind that Lemons are the most cold sensitive of the Citrus family, but the Meyer Lemon, thanks to its Mandarin Orange origins, has a higher cold hardiness than most Lemons.
