Meyer Lemon Tree (Citrus limon)

An heirloom dwarf lemon with delicious golden-yellow fruit. It is the hardiest lemon for cool temperatures and makes a fine potted plant. The fruit is more flavorful than store-bought lemons and is prized by chefs. It bears heavily at a young age, flowering and fruiting year-round. Brought into the U.S. at the turn of the century from China, it is thought to be a hybrid between a lemon and an orange.
