Improved Meyer Lemon Tree
Citrus meyeri
Today’s Improved Meyer Lemon is a cross between an ordinary lemon and an orange, a hybrid released to the University of California in 1975. The thin-skinned fruit is sweet and grows readily in the right conditions, in a pot or ground. Potted trees can be moved inside during the winter and preferably placed near a window that faces south. Yellowing leaves indicate the need for either water or fertilizer. In the hottest summer areas, morning sun and afternoon shade are best. Much less tart than other lemons and hold abundant fruit and flowers nearly year round. Meyer lemons make a great lemonade, Lemon curd or simply a beautiful bowl arrangement!

PLANT VARIATIONS
Please note that no two plants are exactly the same, that’s what makes them so unique! There may be some slight variations in height, width, amount of leaves, etc. We do our best to ensure your plants are consistent and keep our listings updated. As these are live plants, they change frequently.
SPECIAL REQUESTS
We have the ability to procure hundreds of varieties of plants from 2 inches to 5 gallons. If you do not see what you are looking for, please send us a message and we will see if we can help!
DOMESTIC USA SHIPPING
Our horticulture experts will determine if the plant needs to be shipped in soil, based on the particular species, size, and your hardiness zone. In general, agaves, cacti, and succulents will be shipped without soil, called “bare root.” (see below) We will find the best freight carrier to your address. While our top priority is a healthy, happy plant delivery, unfortunately, we have no control over how carriers handle our packages, nor where they are dropped off.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
All plants shipped beyond the USA mainland, including Alaska, and Puerto Rico, will be shipped “bare root.” (see below) All plants shipped internationally, including Puerto Rico, require a Phytosanitary Certificate from the US Department of Agriculture.
You can purchase the certificate in our shop here: https://rb.gy/0pmnd
Please check with your local customs department to see if you need any additional certifications, such as import permits. Note: while we have extensive experience and a track record of successful international plant shipments, we are unable to guarantee the plants' condition upon arrival.
BARE ROOT SHIPPING
This process simplifies shipping by dramatically decreasing the package weight, which keeps the cost of shipping as low as possible.
