Dwarf Meyer Lemon
Grow Meyer lemons with this petite tree
- 2-3' tree with beautiful, sweet-smelling blossom
- Beautiful green foliage
- Tangy, juicy, sweet lemons
If your home or garden can't fit a full-sized tree, then this Dwarf Meyer Lemon tree is perfect for you. Meyer Lemon can reach a height of 6-10 feet when planted outdoors; as a potted plant, though, the tree size can be kept small—generally about 4-6' tall. Before it produces lemons, you'll see beautiful, sweetly-scented white blossoms that liven up any space. Soon after, the fruit will begin to grow. They start green, but soon take on their signature orange-yellow color as they grow to a medium-sized lemon. The lemons themselves are tangy, juicy, and slightly sweet when ripe. If planted outdoors, the bees will take care of pollination for you. If kept indoors, the tree will require hand pollination to produce fruit. Be sure to move Meyer Lemon indoors for the winter if you live in a Northern zone. Zones 9-10. Ships in 3" pots.
