Description
The Meyer Lemon Tree produces large, very flavourful fruits with thin, smooth skin. Their juicy pulp is less acidic than the classic lemon. This hardy variety can withstand temperatures as low as -11°C and blooms twice a year, in spring and autumn. The Meyer Lemon Tree can be planted directly in the ground in Mediterranean climates or grown in a pot in other regions. It thrives in sunny and sheltered locations. Plant in spring for almost year-round harvest.
The Meyer Lemon Tree produces large, very flavourful fruits with juicy pulp that is less acidic than the classic lemon. The lemons have thin, smooth skin and turn yellow-orange when ripe. The harvest can be done almost year-round. Once picked, lemons can be stored at room temperature for up to a week. Lemons can be used in both savoury and sweet dishes: lemon chicken, lemon meringue pie, preserved lemons, etc. Handy tip: dip freshly cut fruits (apples, pears, bananas, avocados, etc.) in lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown when exposed to air. Lemon slices can also be used to garnish dishes.
The 'Meyer' variety is one of the hardiest varieties, able to withstand temperatures as low as -11°C. It has the unique characteristic of blooming twice a year, in spring and autumn. The small white flowers are pleasantly fragrant and grow in small clusters. They will eventually develop into fruits, which ripen from November onwards. Fruit production occurs on the current year's wood. In winter, the 'Meyer' Lemon Tree goes into a dormant period and should be placed in a cool location, between 0 and 5°C, or protected with winter covering if planted in the ground.
The Lemon Tree (Citrus limon) belongs to the Rutaceae family and the Citrus genus, which includes citrus trees such as orange trees, grapefruit trees, mandarin trees, yuzu trees, and clementine trees. Originating from Asia, it is an evergreen tree that can reach a height of 2 to 3 m (7 to 10ft) at maturity. It has a bushy habit, with a more or less spreading shape. The persistent, alternate leaves are 5 to 10cm (2 to 4in) long, elliptical, and dark green. They have spines at the base. The Lemon Tree can be planted directly in the ground in Mediterranean regions and grown in a pot in other regions.

Planting and care
The Citrus tree is planted in open ground in the South, in a Mediterranean climate, or in a pot in cooler regions, to be stored away in winter. Planting is done in spring. Choose a sunny and sheltered location. The Citrus tree thrives in light, well-drained soils, with a tendency to be sandy and non-calcareous. It enjoys the heat but fears drought.
Soak the root ball in water for a few moments before planting.
In open ground: dig a hole, add a layer of gravel at the bottom of the planting hole and mix well-rotted compost and sand with the soil. Place the root ball, cover with soil and firm it down. Water generously at planting, regularly during the summer, then reduce watering significantly during the winter period. When the vegetative phase begins (appearance of flowers), gradually increase watering.
In spring, add well-rotted compost. At the end of autumn, protect the Citrus tree with a winter cover.
In a pot: choose a pot 2 to 3 times larger than the volume of the root ball. Place a layer of gravel or clay pellets at the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage. Fill the pot with a mixture of citrus-specific compost, a little garden soil, and a little sand. Place the root ball and cover with soil. Firm it down and water generously. From October to April, bring the pot indoors to a cool and bright room with a temperature below 10°C (50°F), ideally between 0 and 5°C (32 and 41°F). Water regularly, twice a week in summer and once or twice a month in winter. Do not let water stagnate in the saucer. Plan to repot it every 3 years or so.
At the end of winter, apply organic fertiliser. In case of aphid or scale attacks, spray soapy water on the foliage.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
