I grow both Meyer and Eureka lemons and whilst the Meyer is a fantastic all-round lemon, there are times when you really want the extra tartness and acidity of the Eureka. I've found it makes a difference in some recipes such as non-baked cheesecake. If you have the space I think it's worth growing both of them. Lemonade fruit (citrus limon x reticulata) is also delicious and is in a whole other league of sweetness. Another fruit worth growing for people who love lemons!

Thanks for sharing all about this variety and about Eureka Lemons, I had been considering the Meyer mainly because it's just so popular among the places I buy from, but as I use lemons mostly for their skin (rind and zest in baked goods) and highly acidic juice (for canning), they're really not best for my needs and as such I'll be getting a true lemon for said purposes.

The typical grocery store lemons are Lisbon and Eureka lemons. The Eureka lemons are the larger, pointier lemons with thicker skin. The Lisbon lemons are the smaller, rounder lemons with thinner skins. If you want a true lemon, I actually recommend you get a Variegated Pink Lemon. They're simply a mutated Eureka lemon, so they taste EXACTLY the same, but they're absolutely gorgeous. I have one and the fruit is fantastic and, of course, the juice is pink! If you were blindfolded, you'd never know.

I just picked all 5 to relieve it, in hopes that it will make it to spring. I’ve heard that they sometimes do that so maybe it’s not dying, just in shock.

Small, potted lemons can fruit on an everbearing schedule, especially indoors where seasons don't exist. It's not unusual for my potted lemons and limes to flower multiple times a year. The in-ground citrus is highly seasonal, but the small-fruited potted citrus probably have their circadian rhythms in disarray, so they are more sporadic. Container citrus need frequent fertilizer applications, because they immediately deplete the pots and have nowhere to go. Keep in mind that citrus self-thin, so most of your lemons will probably drop (and make quite a mess in the process). My trees bloom in April(ish) and are ready for harvest in winter, so expect it to take 6-8 months to ripen the fruits.

Hi Antonio. You really got by really lucky with that last hard freeze that swept the country. I am just heartsick about it. I have a 20 ft. by 20 ft. high tunnel greenhouse and had heat running but I lost all of my greens, things that are cool weather plants. My herbs that are perennial are greening up again. I watch for your videos faithfully so keep them coming. I was going to get me some of those oranges and lemons, but now I am very doubtful that they would survive. We are in zone 7 in midwestern Arkansas. I sure envy you and those oranges/lemons etc. However I followed your advice on how to sprout figs from cuttings and I am happy to say I have about 9 that are growing. Thank you so much for all of your videos on figs etc. I am 74 and I have had some garden of my own every year since I was 3 yr. old when I finally convinced my mom to let me plant a very small garden of my own. Raising my food was a life saver when I was 35 my husband died, I had little money and 2 growing teen aged boys and a third boy I raised with my two boys. They had bottomless pits for stomachs. I raised a big garden in Wyoming where the snow got 6 ft. deep each year. People laughed at me when they drove past my home but I got the last when I began giving them vegetables.

It's growing beautifully I do lose some leaves when I bring it indoors but I have tons of flowers and 2 or 3 good size lemons growing as I write this they are green at the moment but it appears to be very healthy. Any recommendations as far as feeding it? I don't want to give it something that is going to hurt it. I water it once every 8 to 10 days or as it seems to need it. So far so good.

Hey, I’m from the same area! I’d like to visit your place one day! But I’d like to say I like your video’s, and I have a lot of banana varieties, but still no fruit. Maybe you can teach me some of your skill’s to overwinter the plants

I enjoyed this video a lot - watched it 3 times. Entertaining and informative, but it misses the mark as far as telling me how to grow Meyers other than giving me vendor info regarding where to buy. You didn’t talk about sun, soil, water requirements, nourishment or best time of year to plant them. I wish you had included that info. Now I have to find another KZitemr’s site for that info 😢

Hey buddy I live in Goldsboro NC , not far from you . This spring I bought a Myers’s lemon from Sams . It’s still in the pot it came it . About a month ago it started to bloom.. will it bloomed but no babies. Then yesterday I did notice I have two babies lemons now . I still have a few blooms so I’m hoping they will make more lemons. Would I be ok to plant it in the ground on the south side of our house. I also bought a orange tree from Lowe’s . No blooms on it and they both are around the same size about 3 feet.

Where did you get the tree cover from? I want to plant my tree in the ground next year but it can get pretty cold in Norfolk, VA. I like the lights to keep it warm as well.

I think I’ll try one in a pot and one or two in the ground. See how that goes. We constantly use lemons to cook. Lemon potatoes - yum!

They're about 10 times better fresh off a tree. If you like those old lemons, the fresh ones will blow you away!

@TheMillennialGardener

It depends if you want a bush or a tree. If you want a tree, you want a grafted Meyer lemon. If you want a bush, you need a rooted cutting. I wanted a bush so I could protect it, so I avoided a grafted tree. Trees are harder to protect, so keep that in mind.

Been growing Meyer for over 10 years in the tropics, 100 degrees daily, lots of sun, water and feeding. The fruits stay green forever on the tree until they rot. So weird.

How do you select Meyer lemon tree cuttings for propagating: softwood, semi-hardwood, or hardwood stems? Thank you.

I don't root citrus cuttings. I never had any success doing so. They're a lot more challenging than things like figs. I purchased a cutting rooted from a professional nursery.

My lemon tree is covered in scale bugs 😭 I had it inside in a pot. I tried covering it in neem oil but it just got worse. How do you protect your tree outside? I’m going to have to toss mine because it’s too far gone to cut back.

How cold did it get? A simple frost won’t trouble a meyer much, unless it is potted.
