Meyer Lemon is one of the most popular citrus varieties, valued for its prolific fruit production, compact growth habit, and exceptional flavour. Known as one of the hardiest citrus trees available, it produces an abundance of bright yellow fruit that is sweeter and less acidic than traditional lemons, making it ideal for both cooking and fresh use.

Growing to approximately 1.5m high and 1.5m wide, Meyer Lemon is perfectly suited to home gardens, courtyards, patios, and container planting. Its fragrant white blossoms and glossy evergreen foliage provide year-round ornamental appeal, while the fruit offers an extended harvest season.

Meyer Lemon thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. While hardy compared to other citrus varieties, protection from heavy frost is recommended, particularly when young or grown in colder regions.
