The Meyer Lemon Citrus Tree is one of the most popular and rewarding citrus trees to grow at home. A natural hybrid between a lemon and a mandarin orange, the Meyer lemon produces smooth-skinned, thin-rinded fruits with a sweeter, less acidic flavour than a standard lemon. Supplied in a 5 litre nursery pot, this is a well-established, ready to fruit specimen that suits both indoor and outdoor growing across the UK.

Whether placed on a sunny patio during the warmer months or kept as a lemon tree houseplant on a bright windowsill or in a conservatory, this compact citrus tree offers year-round interest with its glossy evergreen foliage, fragrant white blossom and vibrant golden fruit.

Growing Conditions:

This potted lemon tree thrives in a bright, sunny position receiving at least 6 hours of direct light per day. The Meyer lemon tree is equally at home as a patio citrus tree during the warmer months or as an indoor lemon tree on a sunny windowsill or in a conservatory. It is one of the best citrus trees for pots and containers, making it well suited to indoor citrus growing across the UK. Bring pots indoors before the first frost for winter care, and it makes a fantastic choice for small gardens, patios or balconies.

Lemon tree soil should be free-draining and slightly acidic for the best results.
