Amazing!

This was my winter harvest from Indy. Still have 3 on the tree the size of limes and it just finished blooming, so many tiny lemons. Made lemon bars - each lemon produced 1/2 cup of juice. Fantastic!

10/10 would buy again!

I purchased a Myers Lemon tree from Fast Growing Trees last February. In 6 months I have seen immense growth, flowering, and even fruits coming from my tree! They were there to support me through every step and question I had and ensured I was happy with my product. If you’re considering purchasing, look no further!

The All-In-One Citrus Tree for Every Home and Patio

Why Meyer Lemon Trees?

Meyer Lemons are different from the small, tart and acidic lemons at your grocery store because the fruit is literally a cross between traditional sour lemons and sweet oranges – yes, you get both sweet and savory flavors from each squeeze of this world-beating fruit!

As you know, the fruit available at your grocery store is not chosen for flavor but rather shelf life – that is why the lemons available to you are small with very thick skin. Meyer Lemons are not available in grocery stores because the fruit skin is so wonderfully thin that it would bruise while riding in a crate – however, the thin skin is perfect for home chefs that want tantalizingly fresh fruit right off the branch! The thin skin allows the citrus juices to develop fully, making it the perfect raw fruit for juices, desserts, and flavoring.

Can I grow it? YES, YOU CAN! The Meyer Lemon Tree has remarkable cold and heat tolerance so anyone in the country can grow it – if your winters get cold, simply bring your Meyer Lemon Tree indoors for the winter. Our trees max out at around 8 feet so you don’t have to worry about them out-growing your space. And when you bring it indoors, you can enjoy the jasmine-citrus fragrance throughout those long winter months. If your sun exposure or growing conditions are less than ideal, then we recommend you start with one of our larger trees.

Place your order NOW and have your own Meyer Lemon Tree delivered right to your door.

Looking for that unique gift? Look no further! It’s the gift that truly keeps on giving – a memorable keepsake to commemorate holidays, housewarmings, birthdays, bereavements – this tree will produce fruit for decades and every time someone picks a lemon they will think of you!

Why Trees.com is Better

Are all Meyer Lemon Trees equal? No! A Meyer Lemon Tree from Trees.com is different:

• Our Meyer Lemon Trees are greenhouse-grown. We control how much light, heat, and water the trees receive to ensure you get the best tree imaginable- many trees that we ship to customers already have fruit on them!

• Our Meyer Lemon Trees are grown in their existing pots. Unlike the violent process of digging a tree out of the ground, our trees are nurtured to full potential without disrupting the roots so you receive the happiest and healthiest tree available.

• Trees.com only sells the “Improved” Meyer Lemon variety – the only cultivar that has proven disease-resistant capabilities.

• When you order our larger-sized Meyer Lemon Tree, you can look forward to faster fruiting...even in the first year of growth! Our larger sizes are perfect for those who don't want to wait to harvest delicious lemons.

You’ve heard the chatter, now it’s time to try for yourself – this is the tree that so many home chefs have been successful with – start enjoying that sweet fruit immediately and order yours today!

1. Planting: It is best to plant the Improved Meyer Lemon Tree in a warm, sunny area where the soil drains well. Six hours (or more) of direct sun is best for the tree. Planting next to a house or under an eave will provide some frost protection. Remember to water the Improved Meyer Lemon Tree deeply once every seven to ten days in midsummer (newly planted trees may need more frequent watering until established), and water less often if it rains or if the weather is cool.

If you're planting in a container, select one that is 1 to 2 pot sizes larger than what it initially arrived. Then, fill with a well-draining cactus or citrus soil, 2 inches of compost, water well, and place near a South-facing window.

*Note: The leaves of the Meyer Lemon can be toxic to pets.

2. Watering: Allow the soil to dry down to 2 inches between waterings.

While the roots prefer to stay on the dry side, citrus leaves love humidity. Indoor Citrus will do best if misted daily, especially when you are running your heat during cooler months. You can also use a humidifier or fill your pot's saucer with rocks and add water; place your plant on the rocks ensuring the bottom of the pot is above the waterline.

3. Pollination: For indoor plants, simply take a small, dry, fine-tipped paintbrush and stick it into the center of the bloom. Swirl it around and collect the pollen on the brush. Go to the next bloom and repeat the process until every bloom has been treated. Do this once daily and don’t wash the paintbrush until after the blooms have been pollinated. The bloom will fall off naturally and the fruit will begin to form.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize regularly with a high-nitrogen blend each month between April and September.

Trees.com Tip: Yellowing leaves may indicate the need for more fertilizer.

5. Pruning: Prune as needed to maintain your Lemon Tree's shape. Clip off any branches that are too long. Remove branches growing toward the trunk of the tree instead of away from it. This will maintain airflow between the branches.

Are Meyer Lemons different from regular lemons?

Meyer Lemons are sweeter and less acidic than traditional lemons. Their unique flavor is often described as a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange.

Are Meyer Lemon Bushes self-pollinating?

Yes, Meyer Lemon Bushes are self-pollinating and do not require another citrus plant to produce fruit. If grown strictly indoors, hand pollination may be required in order to produce fruit.

How long does it take for a Meyer Lemon Tree to produce fruit?

Fruit timing depends on the age and size of your Meyer Lemon Tree when it arrives. A more established tree is often closer to fruit-bearing age, and in the right growing conditions, Meyer Lemon Trees can produce fruit throughout the year.

Do Meyer Lemon Trees need full sun?

Meyer Lemon Trees do best with bright sunlight, though the amount and timing matter depending on your climate. For patio growing, choose a location with at least six hours of sunlight. In warm climates, morning sun and afternoon shade work best for potted trees. For outdoor planting, choose a spot with full sun to partial shade.

Where can Meyer Lemon Trees grow outdoors?

Meyer Lemon Trees grow well outdoors in Zones 9–11. In cooler areas, they’re best grown as citrus plants in containers on a patio and moved indoors once temperatures drop below 50° F.

Can Meyer Lemon Trees grow indoors?

Yes, Meyer Lemon Trees are among the most popular citrus varieties for indoor growing. With bright sunlight and proper care, they can thrive indoors and produce fruit for years.

When should I water a Meyer Lemon Tree?

Water your Meyer Lemon Tree when the soil has dried about 2 inches down. The roots prefer not to stay too wet, but indoor citrus leaves appreciate humidity, so misting daily or using a humidifier can help during cooler months.

How should I fertilize a Meyer Lemon Tree?

Fertilize Meyer Lemon Trees with a citrus-specific fertilizer during the growing season, stopping in fall and winter. For trees planted in-ground, a soil test can help guide the right nutrient rate. For potted trees, fertilize monthly from spring through fall. Yellowing leaves may be a sign that your tree needs more fertilizer, especially during active growth.

How do I pollinate a Meyer Lemon Tree indoors?

For indoor Meyer Lemon Trees, use a small, dry, fine-tipped paintbrush to move pollen from bloom to bloom. Repeat this once daily while flowers are open, and the blooms will fall naturally as Meyer lemons begin to form.

Estimated Shipping Time: Most orders ship immediately. As noted on the website, some items are seasonal, and may only ship in spring or fall. Once your order is shipped, you'll receive an email with a tracking number.

Healthy Meyer Lemom tree!

Both Mayer Lemon and Clementine trees are thriving in the back yard. These photos are from march 2025 to Sept 2026 (only 1.5 years). Harvested plenty of lemons already. As expexted, the Clementine can take 2 years to bear more edible fruits but it getting very close already.
