The Meyer Improved Lemon Tree is a hybrid between a common lemon tree and a mandarin orange tree. This lemon tree variety has a spreading habit and is nearly thornless. The fragrant blooms of this lemon tree then turn to medium-sized, orange-yellow, juicy sweet-tart lemons that are in season in fall/spring.
Citrus x meyeri or commonly called the Meyer Lemon tree is a gorgeous evergreen citrus tree originally from China that is a hybrid between a common lemon tree and a mandarin orange tree. It was first discovered and sent to the United States in 1908 by Dutch horticulturist and botanist Frank Meyer who was working for the United States Department of Agriculture.
Unfortunately, the original Meyer Lemon Trees were found to be susceptible to a devastating virus called Citrus Tristeza and eventually became symptomless carriers of the said virus, which infected and killed millions of citrus trees across the United States and all over the world. Because of this, most Meyer lemon trees have to be destroyed. A surviving and virus-free Meyer lemon tree was then discovered by Don Dillon in 1950 and was later certified and released by the University of California as the Improved Meyer Lemon Tree in 1975.
The Improved Meyer Lemon Tree is cold hardy and best grows in US Department of Agriculture USDA hardiness zones 8 to 11. It is fairly vigorous, shrubby, and somewhat small in size upon reaching maturity standard Meyer lemon trees can grow as tall as 6 to 10 while the dwarf lemon tree can grow up to 4 to 6 in height.
This lemon tree variety has a spreading habit and is nearly thornless making it a great citrus tree to plant if you have kids, be it indoors or outdoors. This citrus tree blooms purple-tinted flowers all year round but blooms are more concentrated in spring or fall. The fragrant blooms then turn to medium-sized, orange-yellow, juicy sweet-tart lemons that are in season in fall/spring.
I ordered two lemon trees and couldn’t be happier with not only the trees but the shipping. I ordered another tree from a different website and I must say they were subpar to what I received from your company. I’ve only had the trees for about a month and already they are starting to bud. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase and just ordered another tree today. Thank you again!!
Thank you for your great review and photo. We are thrilled that your tree is thriving, and we greatly appreciate your business.

We ordered a Meyer lemon tree as a Christmas present for our elderly parents who miss their tree in California, We ordered the big 4-5 year tree and it arrived with blossoms and all! FedEx made a mistake with the original delivery , but citrus .com sent a new one on the same day we contacted them about the problem. Do I recommend them? Heck Yeah!
I’m very happy with my new Meyer lemon tree! I thought it would be a bit taller but I really don’t care because it is so robust! Multiple branches all looking very healthy. It arrived thoughtfully packaged. It makes a difference to see the care you have taken in shipping. This is my first online order from your company, you will be the first place I look in the future! Thanks
This is my first time ordering online, and I am extremely happy with my purchase. It was packed very well only 2 leaves lost in the process. It is much fuller than the web picture. I was afraid I would get a leggy plant. I would definitely order more.
The perfect gift! The tree was healthy and bigger / better than expected. I was surprised to also see two free e-books on the care of my tree. I shall certainly order again.
My tree arrived quickly and in very good condition! I am following the directions given on Citrus.com as to how best to acclimate and plant it- I appreciate the information there!
Tree shipped with extremely dry soil, and arrived looking very sad. Shipment took a day longer than initially stated on tracking site, and I’m that didn’t help. Needed to soak it thoroughly for 3 days to get it to perk back up. It’s looking a lot better now, just like in the photos.
I must say my 2-3 year old Improved Meyer Lemon Tree was delivered and it is a beauty. I thought I’d have some fruit but it wasn’t bearing any fruit upon arrival. I’ll be doing my best to provide the proper care with hopes of growing some lemons soon.
The tree arrived quickly and is beautiful. It was well packed and is now thriving in its new pot. The care instructions are clear and helpful. I can’t wait to see our first lemons 🍋
This is my second citrus tree purchase from Citrus.com. Both trees are amazing. I was concerned when i received the first tree and I saw the slender box it was shipped in. But once i opened it I understood the packaging. Both trees are extremely happy and have not lost any leaves and are growing beautifully. I will be purchasing more trees from Citus.com.
It’s hard to find Meyer Lemon trees for delivery into to Florida. Citrus.com is here! Wow! what beautiful trees and very swift delivery. My trees arrived packaged very well and in great, healthy condition. They are thriving in their new home. : )
I bought a Meyer lemon tree, a planting pot and care kit as a gift for my granddaughter. She was very pleased with everything and I was happy that it arrived 2 days ahead of schedule. My only complaint is that my birthday
message was not included.
I have wanted a Meyer Lemon tree for a very long time & was pleased to find this website. Citrus.com was easy to find the plants I wanted, check out & they were delivered in a timely manner. Very happy with my plant.
My Meyer lemon trees are healthy and beautiful and already bearing fruit! And, Liz from customer service has been BEYOND helpful in straightening out my confusion over a missing item from my original order. Although I’m still awaiting that last piece, ALL of my purchases from Citrus.com have been lovely, healthy plants. They all have arrived in great condition due to the very thoughtful packaging.
The tree arrived and it’s fantastic! The tree itself is 23” tall, and the root base is 10” so the total height is 33”. This far exceeded our expectations based on the description and we are VERY pleased.
My tree arrived and was so perfectly packaged I was amazed. The shipping was so fast it caught me off guard! Can’t wait to see this little baby grow and make lemons!!
I purchased the tree (one gallon size) about 14 months ago. It came promptly, and well packaged, with very good instructions. To my surprise, it had 2 baby lemons on it upon arrival, but only one survived, ripening in December. I keep it inside November through March and cross pollinated the blooms with a q-tip.
Currently, I have 5 large growing lemons, 6 tiny lemons and the tree is in full bloom, now (didn’t expect that). I’m extremely satisfied!
My Improved Meyer Lemon tree arrived today in excellent condition, well packaged, and without any problems. It arrived in hardly any time at all; very fast shipping! In fact, there were several purplish buds beginning to bloom. I immediately repotted my tree in lemon citrus potting soil. I love my tree; Thank you, Citrus.com. I would recommend your business to anybody searching for a citrus tee.
This is my first lemon tree and I’m so excited to finally have one. I ordered the Improved Dwarf Meyer Lemon Tree. It arrived on time and the packaging kept it from having any broken branches. The tree is full and even has little flowers on it. I’m very happy with my lemon tree and I’ll definitely buy from citrus.com again.
Tree is small and fine. Delivery a disaster. FedEx put the package on a 20-25 degree day just next to the mailbox at the road (far away from the house) head first into the snow. When I finally found it and unpacked, tree had fallen out of pot, broken branches and leaves. It seems to recover. Will not order again however if delivery is by FedEx
I purchased this tree as a 4-5 year tree. It produced fruit right away. It is in a container. The first summer it moved outside and liked it there, but a dog cable knocked it over. I repositioned it in the pot, but it was never quite vertical again. However, it just kept producing fruit. I bought a lime tree from a local store, not realizing it had spider mites. The mites moved to the lemon tree. I wiped down the leaves with alcohol several times. It pulled through. I just repotted it, thinking it may grow more in a bigger pot. I was surprised at the small size of the root ball, but it is still producing fruit. I am on my third harvest. probably at least 20 lemons per harvest. Delicious and juicy fruit.
Hello,
I would just like to say that I received my Lemon tree yesterday. I am totally impressed with it! I expected to receive a “twig” about 8-12″ tall, wow, I got an actual tree, 3-4 ft. tall, leafed out and in full blossom!! It is beautiful and I will order from you again. Thank you so much for this beauty!

The Meyer lemon plant arrived on time and with three buds. Unfortunately they fell off before blooming. Hopefully now that the weather is warming up, we will see more. The plant itself was in good shape .
I ordered this lemon shrub as a gift to myself, I live in Michigan so unfortunately we cannot grow these outdoors. I received my package yesterday and when I opened it I shrieked. It’s full of blooms, larger than I expected and extremely healthy. I couldn’t complain about anything if I tried.
Tree arrived well packaged and in good shape. Unfortunately it had spider mites. I still gave you a five because customer service was very helpful with advice on how to get rid of them. Tree seems to be doing fine now.
Dwarf citrus trees and standard-sized citrus trees need almost the same type and amount of care.
Planting Location – Citrus trees are generally hardy but grow best in warm, sunny spots that have well-draining soil. Meyer Lemon Trees are best grown in USDA plant hardiness zone 8 through 11. In colder areas, it is advisable that you plant lemon trees next to your house or under an eave to get frost protection or plant them in a container, especially the dwarf citrus tree since they are well adapted to container growing.
Watering – Once your newly bought citrus trees arrive, you need to replant them either on the ground or in bigger pots. Newly replanted Improved Meyer lemon trees should be watered deeply every 2 to 3 days for the first two weeks. Keep in mind that growing citrus trees like moisture but not wet feet. Once the citrus trees are established, you can cut back on watering to once every 7-10 days. Also, allow the soil to get dry between watering to avoid lemon trees standing in water.
Pruning –Citrus trees seldom need elaborate trimming or pruning, however, if you wish to maintain the shape of your Meyer lemon tree you may want to clip off braches that are too long a year after replanting or once the trees have reached the height of 3’ to 4’. To keep it healthy, prune leggy, damaged, diseased and dead branches back to the base of the trunk in late winter to avoid any disruption of the winter harvest or as you deem needed. You should also keep an eye out for suckers growing at the base of the tree as they would only compete for water and nutrients your tree needs in order to grow, establish, and bear fruit.
Fertilization –Meyer lemon trees and other growing citrus trees need citrus fertilizer to grow healthy and become prolific fruit bearers. They should be fed ammonium sulfate fertilizer for citrus trees balanced to 21-0-0. A cup of citrus tree fertilizer is a must for the first year, should be broken down into four equal parts, and applied between February to August to ensure the lemon tree’s healthy growth cycle. It should be mixed with water then poured under the canopy of the tree where it can be absorbed by the roots. Follow the package instructions and do not overfeed to avoid burning the root and harming the tree.
Pollination Assistance –Improved Meyer Lemon Trees are self-fruitful or “self-pollinators” and do not need other citrus trees or a second Meyer Lemon tree to pollinate and bear fruits. Planted outdoors, bees undertake lemon tree pollination by buzzing from flower to flower, but if planted inside the house or greenhouse you need to help your tree by manually pollinating it by hand. To pollinate by hand, use a small paintbrush and touch the tip of the brush to the center of the flower to collect the ripe pollen. Go to the next flower and touch the center using the tip of the same brush to transfer the collected pollen and repeat the process for the rest of the flowers.
Fruit & Harvesting
Fruit
The Meyer Lemon is not a true lemon because it is a hybrid between a lemon and a mandarin. It is medium in size and has an oblong to elliptical shape. Its base is rounded but sometimes faintly necked and furrowed.
Meyer lemons have fragrant, yellow-orange thin rind that is smooth and tightly adherent to the flesh. The rind also has a more complex fragrance to it than regular lemons and emits a spicy bergamot scent that smells like an herb or spice.
The moderately seedy flesh is apportioned in 10 segments and is tender, juicy, sweeter and less acidic compared to true lemons.
Accepted as a lemon substitute, Meyer lemons are great for juicing and baking pastries and pie like Lemon Meringue Pie. It can also be used to make alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, flavoring for sweet and savory dishes, salad and other recipes requiring lemon. Just keep in mind that when substituting regular lemon with Meyer lemon, it has a sweeter and less acidic taste and can make a recipe turn out differently so you may want to go slowly and start with small amount then taste before adding the rest.
Harvesting
Meyer lemons are green while still growing and take several months to ripen and turn yellow. You can tell that it is time to harvest your lemons when the rind has turned yellow, have a slightly glossy appearance and the fruits have reached 2 to 3 inches in size.
You can also pick a fruit to test its juiciness. If there is not enough juice leave the fruits on the tree for a few weeks then do another test.
Growing Zones
Advice
The Improved Meyer Lemon Tree can grow up to 6’ to 10’ in height when planted in the ground but tend to be smaller when planted in a pot. This citrus tree is an ever-flowering and ever-bearing tree and blooms and fruits intermittently throughout the year, but main bloom season is in spring/fall and fruit season in fall/spring. Also, although hardy and cold tolerant, Meyer Lemon Trees need to be protected when temperature goes below 32º F.
Pests and Diseases
Meyer lemon trees are essentially pest resistant but are sometimes attacked by citrus thrips, aphids and leaf miners.
Pests
Citrus Thrips are yellow-orange insects that lay eggs on new shoots or tender leaf tissue. You will know that your tree is infested if you see scabby scars on the lemon rind. Citrus Thrips can be controlled with beneficial insects like lacewings, spiders and minute pirate bugs. You can also use botanical insecticides to safely treat heavy infestation.
Aphids and leaf miners can weaken the citrus tree and result in reduced or low fruit yield. You can defend you tree and eradicate these insects by using horticultural oil spray or insecticidal soap spray. You can also make use of Tangle Foot to get rid of these bugs.
Diseases
Improved Meyer lemon trees are disease tolerant but are not a hundred per cent free of all types of diseases.
Brown Rot – a fungal disease that causes browning and rotting of parts of the tree. The fungus is commonly transmitted thru splashing of infected soil onto low hanging fruits during heavy rains. It usually starts as a small discolored spot that quickly spreads across the surface of infected fruit.
Brown Rot is usually prevented rather than treated. Sanitation is the best prevention for brown rot. Trimming trees away from the ground, removing any infected fruit and debris around the tree and under the canopy and use of copper salts are great preventive measures.
Citrus Canker – Citrus canker is a bacterial disease that gets transmitted via rain and wind. It leaves lesions on the leaves, stems and fruits of infected citrus trees. It also causes premature leaf and fruit drop.
Sanitation and prevention are the only way to manage citrus canker. You can use copper spray on your Meyer Lemon tree before forecast strong wind and heavy rains starts. Unfortunately, once a tree gets infected there is no way to cure it and it needs to be eradicated.
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 Improved Meyer Lemon Trees organically grown and shipped?
All of our Improved 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 Improved Meyer lemon tree inside?
Yes. Be sure to plant it in a large enough pot, and give the Improved Meyer Lemon tree as much sun as possible by locating it in a south-facing window. You can also supplement lighting by using grow lights. Also Improved Meyer 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 Improved Meyer Lemon tree outside to water it.
What is the difference between a regular 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 Improved Meyer Lemon Tree?
If you are planting your Improved Meyer Lemon 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 Improved Meyer Lemon Tree?
Fertilize your Improved 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 Improved Meyer lemon trees for them to grow fruit?
No. Improved Meyer lemon trees are self-pollinating and will grow fruit with no additional pollinator. But two trees grown together will usually produce more fruit than a single tree.

The tree is full and even has little flowers on it. I’m very happy with my lemon tree and I’ll definitely buy from citrus.com again.

Tree is small and fine. Delivery a disaster. FedEx put the package on a 20-25 degree day just next to the mailbox at the road (far away from the house) head first into the snow. When I finally found it and unpacked, tree had fallen out of pot, broken branches and leaves. It seems to recover. Will not order again however if delivery is by FedEx

I purchased this tree as a 4-5 year tree. It produced fruit right away. It is in a container. The first summer it moved outside and liked it there, but a dog cable knocked it over. I repositioned it in the pot, but it was never quite vertical again. However, it just kept producing fruit. I bought a lime tree from a local store, not realizing it had spider mites. The mites moved to the lemon tree. I wiped down the leaves with alcohol several times. It pulled through. I just repotted it, thinking it may grow more in a bigger pot. I was surprised at the small size of the root ball, but it is still producing fruit. I am on my third harvest. probably at least 20 lemons per harvest. Delicious and juicy fruit.

Hello,
I would just like to say that I received my Lemon tree yesterday. I am totally impressed with it! I expected to receive a “twig” about 8-12″ tall, wow, I got an actual tree, 3-4 ft. tall, leafed out and in full blossom!! It is beautiful and I will order from you again. Thank you so much for this beauty!

The Meyer lemon plant arrived on time and with three buds. Unfortunately they fell off before blooming. Hopefully now that the weather is warming up, we will see more. The plant itself was in good shape .

I ordered this lemon shrub as a gift to myself, I live in Michigan so unfortunately we cannot grow these outdoors. I received my package yesterday and when I opened it I shrieked. It’s full of blooms, larger than I expected and extremely healthy. I couldn’t complain about anything if I tried.

Tree arrived well packaged and in good shape. Unfortunately it had spider mites. I still gave you a five because customer service was very helpful with advice on how to get rid of them. Tree seems to be doing fine now.
