Description

Dwarf Meyer lemon trees are shrub-like, but they can be pruned and made to look like a tree. The beautiful blossoms of this lemon tree are white and delightfully fragrant much like blended citrus with jasmine. The fruit is sweeter, has less acidic flavor & reduced bitterness compared to Lisbon or Eureka lemons.

Dwarf Improved Meyer Lemon Tree or Citrus Meyeri is a favorite among home gardeners and home cooks as it brings in the taste of tropic within their reach; it is so hardy it grows indoors and outdoors. Growing this dwarf citrus tree can be fun and rewarding as it is always either blooming or fruiting.

The Meyer lemon citrus tree, which is a natural hybrid between an orange and lemon, originated from China and was introduced in the US in 1908. In 1975, the University of California released improved glossy-leaved Meyer lemons that are virus-free and disease-resistant.

Meyer lemon trees are shrub-like, but they can be pruned and made to look like a tree. When planted in the ground it could grow as high as 6 to 10 feet high and 2 ft wide. When grown in garden pots, the tree remains smaller in size.

The beautiful blossoms of the Meyer lemon tree are white with a purple base and are delightfully fragrant. The scent is very much like that of blended citrus with jasmine and would definitely smell wonderful to many homes. The flowers also self-pollinate so you can be assured that it will bear fruits even with just that one fruit tree.

    More than I expected

    tonikay (verified owner)

    My dwarf lemon tree arrived today and it was absolutely beautiful! It was packaged securely and made the trip to my home with no damage. Even though we will be repotting the tree I love that it came already in a pot so we can open it up and let it adjust to its new home before repotting it.

    During the process of looking through the web site to select my tree and the appropriate accessories I found it a little confusing trying to figure out exactly what I would need for a healthy tree. As such I ended up ordering too much soil and missed the fact that there was a “care bundle” that I could order for less money. Imagine my surprise when citrus.com reached out to me the next day to inquire about making some changes to my order that ended up giving me exactly what I would need to care for my trees while saving my almost $70.00. I was absolutely amazed, not many companies would go out fo their way to save a customer that kind of money especially when the order was already placed. Thank you citrus.com, I will definitely be ordering from you again!

    My favorite tree ever

    defoor (verified owner)

    I ordered the 4-5 year old tree (3 gal), and it is nothing short of amazing! The tree was well packaged, true-to-size, and very full with healthy leaves. It arrived with five good sized lemons on it. I repotted and fed it with an organic citrus food and placed it on my back deck in metro Atlanta, Zone 7b. Within a week or two, new bloom clusters began to form all over the tree. Shortly after that, it was in full bloom with five clusters of the most delightfully fragrant purplish white blooms that stayed beautiful for weeks. Dozens of tiny lemons have now formed from each of those blossoms. If I wasn’t impressed enough, six new bloom clusters are developing now! I’ve only had the tree five weeks. It is extremely healthy and is producing new growth/leaves. I also have to compliment Citrus.com’s customer service. FedEx destroyed my first tree from a lengthy delay/damage in shipping (no fault of Citrus.com), and Citrus.com replaced it immediately. This was my first purchase from Citrus.com, and I definitely will use them again.

    The dwarf myer lemon tree arrived in great shape, potted (which is a bonus that other places don’t offer), and was so mature. I am sure it will flower and fruit soon. I am very happy with the tree and the experience of shopping with citrus.com.

    Super happy with my dwarf lemon tree. It was shipped quickly and packaged well when it arrived. I was pleasantly surprised that it was taller than I expected! It’s a great addition to the dwarf lemon tree I have had for five years and it will also be potted due to where I live.

    Absolutely gorgeous tree – the branches and foliage almost look fake because they’re so beautifully colored and glossy. Tree also arrived on the bigger end of the given size range spectrum, which is great. Definitely impressed and have already suggested this site to my other tree and plant-loving friends.

    My Dwarf Meyer Lemon arrived a little ahead of schedule. It was packed very well and had lost only 2 leaves. It looks very healthy and has many leaves left and a small lemon forming already. It is about 24 inches tall. I have had this about 5 days now and it appears to be adjusting nicely to my patio here in the Seattle area.

    The tree arrived relatively unscathed, despite UPS treatment of the box it came in–so it was packed well. One week since arriving, It is pretty happy in a pot outside in the sun–facing south but also windy–and we are hopeful it will do well here. Thanks!

    The tree arrived on time and in perfect condition. The planting and care instructions took out any guesswork. The top leaves and branches were a little compacted from packaging but not permanently damaged. Not one leaf came off in transit. After just a day or two they had expanded and look great. Thanks for the prompt shipping and healthy product!

    I purchased this tree recently and am so pleased when I received it. It came sooner than expected and was in excellent shape. Not a leaf had fallen off and everyone was so green. My tree is full of fruit buds and was packed so well for shipping.
    I am so happy with this purchase, so happy that I ordered two more plants. I would definitely recommend this nursery for anyone that want to get quality plants for a great price. I will ordered again.

It was so green and full of fruit buds and not one leaf had fallen. So far I have seen growth with new leaves coming out and this one is a winner as far as I am concerned.

    The package came and they held it until the weather was warm enough to make sure it was safe. It was well packaged and the plant was flowering. The flowers smell very nice and the plant bounced back quickly once I repotted it. Definitely will be buying again.

    So far, so good. The plant came in excellent condition. It came with the root developed. I could plant it immediately in my big planter. I’ll buy another plant certainly.

    The first tree came broken in the box. I took pictures of the tree and box and was promptly sent a new tree. While it was smaller than I expected, it has a lot of new growth. Doubt I will get lemons for a while, I’m very pleased with my new tree and great customer service!

    Tree arrived well packaged with detailed instructions for planting in both ground and pots. Prior to delivery they provided ebooks for the same information so we were ready to plant in the pot. It’s been three weeks and our tree has 7 lemons budding already, it is so exciting to watch them grow! We didn’t lose any leaves nor show signs of distress after potting. This was our first foray into trees and we are definitely thinking of getting companion trees with how well this has gone.

    I have had the most pleasant experience with Citrus.com. First of all, my plant arrived 3 days early. It was well packaged and there were no broken leaves/limbs. It has been repotted and new growth is coming on. Today marks 3 full weeks since its arrival. This winter it will fit nicely in our sunny Florida room! I’ll certainly treat it like a baby!

    Received well packaged, no wilted or missing leaves, no broken twigs, branches, stem. Placed product in its original pot outside in direct sunlight on patio and watered thoroughly. Immediately started putting on new leaves. Left alone for 1 week, (rained, so no water) transplanted in larger pot, watered thoroughly and now water everyday unless it rains. Very healthy plant received and continues to thrive. Superb product; only wish I could get a dwarf mandarin in Florida!

  116. Fabulous little trees

    Cari Auth

    I have never written a review, but these trees are too good not to. My trees are now 2 years old and loaded with fruit. It takes a second to know how to treat them when they are indoors (we live in Ohio) but once you get the hang of it- they are good to go! I’ve had continual blooms and fruit setting all summer long! It’s been a wonderful investment and amazing to see how the lemons develop. Especially in our climate! If you look closely at my photo, you can see fruit at varying stages because I’ve had at least four blooms since May!

    The tree arrived in great condition. In my personal opinion, buying lemon trees from a nursery that specializes in citrus trees makes a big difference. The trees are well cared for and I have purchased numerous trees from this website and I am always happy with the quality of citrus trees I have received.

    This is my second myer lemon tree. I bought the other from a different site a few years back. The notable difference at arrival. This one had been pruned very well during its growth. Making it much more Bush like. Which is exactly what I was looking for. It had lots of growth. And the leaves were in shock just as explained on their info page. However three days later they have perked up!

    The tree is healthy and doing well. I know it was well-cared for before it came to me. I have one suggestion: maybe wrap the pot to keep the soil in the pot during shipping. My tree’s soil was all out of the pot and the tree’s root ball was exposed when it got to me.

    Arrived in the specified time frame in Very Sturdy protective packaging.
    Followed instructions included with the tree:
    After 4 days acclimating to its new environment, it was repotted into a larger ((ceramic) container with large drainage holes. (Tree will be moved indoors during our New Hampshire winters.) Used soil amended with gritty sand from garden center to facilitate drainage. After a month on a deck in the sunshine, the plant is loaded with shiny new leaves. A Perfect little tree. Great experience.

    I bought the tree and had a tiny issue with getting my confirmation email but it arrived as promised. When I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised as just how fragrant these flowers are. There are so many blooms and even had 2 small fruits hanging already. Unfortunately, one of the fruits came off during the unwrapping but was totally my fault. This tree brings a smile to my face every time I walk passed it!!!

    I cannot say enough about this Company. My tree arrived safely, in excellent condition and was breathtaking. It was covered in buds and a few very fragrant flowers. I have contacted the Company numerous times for advice, assistance, etc. They go over and beyond to answer all my questions and address my concerns. I can’t say enough about Yarden. They are the absolute BEST!

    They were astute enough to hold sending my tree due to super freezing temps in my northern location and then sending the tree when it warmed up. Saved my tree for sure! Great experience!

    My lemon tree was so healthy and so well packed that it didn’t lose even a single leaf in transport. It arrived later than I expected because Yarden was careful to watch the weather in my area before shipping and noticed below freezing temperatures. They notified me that they would hold my tree until Temps raised above freezing in order to protect my tree. Once the temp raised, I received my tree promptly. Well done Yarden!

    I purchased a 3-gal dwarf Meyers lemon and it arrived well-packaged, well-watered, and well-fed (slow-release fertilizer). It even had 1 small green lemon still on the plant! Still intact from all that shipping! Impressed.

Citrus Tree Care

Dwarf Improved Meyer Lemon Tree, just like all other citrus trees, love the sun. They are the happiest in temperatures between 50 to 80 °F but can survive down to 32 °F temperature. If the temperature drops below that, you need to take them inside or protect them from frost.

Meyer lemon trees need 6-12 hours of direct sunlight per day. Outdoor trees can tolerate partial shade, but are best grown in full sun. If taken indoors during winter, place the tree near a window facing the south to get the most direct light. The potted plant should also be rotated every 3 weeks to ensure that the entire tree gets sunlight.

Uproot any grass under the lemon tree’s canopy as it takes away the nutrients your tree needs to grow properly.

Be it in-ground or potted, this dwarf lemon tree favors soil that is slightly acidic with pH between 5.7 and 6.5. It does well on soil that is well-drained and not compacted. If the lemon lime tree starts looking stressed, try using fresh potting soil. Take note though that peat moss is too acidic for citrus trees and could impede the plant from setting fruit. On the other hand, soil that is too alkaline can inhibit the plant from getting nutrients from the soil which could result to deficiencies and yellowing of leaves.

Proper watering is crucial in growing dwarf citrus, especially those grown in pots. Under watering or over watering the tree is detrimental to fruit production so keep in mind that when watering the tree you need to keep the soil moist but not saturated. Generally, in-ground Meyer lemon trees need to be watered every one to two weeks, but during dry season you need to water it more often. To determine if your potted lemon dwarf tree needs to be watered, stick your finger in the soil up to the second knuckle. If your fingertip gets damp, wait to water. If your fingertip feels dry, water the lemon tree until you see the water run out of the bottom of the pot.

To ensure that your newly bought Meyer lemon tree is healthy and fruitful, make sure that it gets all the vitamins and minerals it needs. For potted Meyer lemon tree, use a 2-1-1 slow-release citrus fertilizer in early spring as soon as you see new growth. Administer your tree with a balanced liquid fertilizer for citrus trees with micro-nutrients once in 4-6 weeks while it is growing. For outdoor Meyer lemon tree, you can only start feeding it fertilizer after 2 years on the ground, which is when they start needing a large amount of nitrogen. 2 year old lemon trees need 1/3 cup of 21-0-0 ammonium sulfate in January of February when new growth springs. Start fertilizing from the trunk to the drip line and make sure to water the area thoroughly. Repeat the process once between April and May, and once again in August or September.

Keep your lemon tree happy by pruning branches that are growing straight up and removing the damaged or crossing branches. To promote growth, cut should be made on a 45 degree angle facing upward. You should also cut out branches that blocks sunlight from the center of the tree to enhance air circulation and increase the amount of branches getting exposed to sunlight.

Fruit & Harvesting

Fruit

This Dwarf Improved Meyer Lemon Tree with evergreen foliage is a prolific fruit bearer even when young. The Meyer lemons are rounder than the regular lemon and have thin yellow skin that is absolutely fragrant. The fruits are sweeter, have less acidic flavor and reduced bitterness compared to Lisbon or Eureka varieties found in supermarkets, and contain around 10 seeds per fruit.

Harvesting

Healthy Meyer lemon trees produce more fruit so it is wise to take care of them at all times. Fruits that have sprouted from Meyer lemon trees that are younger than 2 years old should be removed because the trees still need to develop strong root system. Furthermore, plucking the fruits from young trees will guarantee that they are healthy enough to produce a lot of fruit by the time they are well established.

Determining the ripeness of your Meyer lemon tree lemons by sight is not 100% fool proof because some lemons are brightly colored even if they are not yet ready to eat, while some are already juicy even when they are still slightly green. Since Meyer lemons will only continue to ripen while still on the tree, make sure that the fruits are already ripe before you harvest them. The best way to know if your lemons are ripe and ready to be harvested is by tasting them.

You can pick the fruit directly from the tree using your bare hands by holding the entire fruit with your hand and twisting it gently until it breaks free. To avoid the risk of damaging the tree while harvesting the fruit, use a knife or scissor to harvest the fruit to steer clear of accidentally pulling off a larger piece than planned.

Advice

If you have just bought a Dwarf Improved Meyer Lemon Tree, keep in mind that when planted on ground it could grow as tall as 6-10 feet, while those planted in a pot will be smaller. It usually blooms or bears fruit in Spring and Fall. Just like other citrus trees it needs to be protected from temperatures below 32°F, and although it can be taken in door during winter season, it is not best to keep your Meyer lemon tree indoors.

Pests and Diseases

Just like other lemon trees, Meyer Lemon Trees are susceptible to specific types of pests like citrus leaf miner, scale insects and aphids.

 

Type of Pest Necessary Treatment
Scale Insects Use one percent Horticultural oil solution mixed with water.

You can also use diluted rubbing oil.

Mites Sulfur spray.

Do not use oil sprays as they are not effective for this type of pest.

Make sure that the soil is moist before use.

Aphids Biological controls, including lacewigs and lady beetles

Insecticidal soaps

Horticultural oil solution mixed with water is also an effective treatment for problems with aphids.

Citrus Leaf Miner Biological controls like predatory insects that are parasitoid.

Citrus leaf miner insecticide that you can directly put to the ground to be absorbed by the tree.

Horticulture oil with spinosad.

FAQs

Is it true that I should cut off the branches that have thorns?

No. There is no reason to cut off branches because they have thorns. You can prune away some of the actual larger thorns if you wish, by using sharp side-cut hand pruners. The branches with thorns also produce valuable leaves and eventually fruit. Thorns are a normal part of the growing process for a healthy lemon tree. Thorns are a lemon tree’s natural defense against climbing pests.

Are your Dwarf Meyer Lemon Trees organically grown and shipped?

All of our Meyer Lemon trees are Non-Gmo. To prevent the spread of destructive insects between states and regions, and to comply with strict USDA plant shipping regulations, we are required to apply a mild chemical treatment to all trees shipped over state lines.

Can I grow my lemon tree inside?

Yes. Be sure to plant it in a large enough pot, and give the tree as much sun as possible by locating it in a south-facing window. You can also supplement lighting by using grow lights. Also lemon trees must be watered well and allowed to drain. A large basin under a pot with good drainage holes can help in this regard. If possible, you could also move the tree outside to water it.

What is the difference between a Meyer Lemon Tree and an Improved Meyer Lemon Tree?

The Improved Meyer Lemon Tree has been selectively bred to be more disease resistant. The growth habits, size, fruit size, and fruit taste are all the same for Meyer Lemon Trees and Improved Meyer Lemon Trees.

When should I plant my new Meyer Lemon Tree?

If you are planting your tree in a pot to live indoors, you can plant it at anytime. If you are planting it in the ground outdoors, then plant it in the early spring after all danger of frost has passed. In USDA Zones 8 to 11, a good time to plant is mid to late March.

When should I fertilize my Meyer Lemon Tree?

Fertilize your Meyer lemon tree once every 4 to 6 weeks from February to August. Follow the fertilizer manufacturer’s directions for the amounts based on the tree size. Always use a fertilizer formulated and designated as citrus fertilizer. Fertilizers that are made for citrus and avocado, or citrus and mango, are suitable as well.

Do I need two lemon trees for them to grow fruit?

No. Meyer lemon trees are self-pollinating and will grow fruit with no additional pollinators. But two trees grown together will usually produce more fruit than a single tree.
