The Meyer Lemon Tree is a cherished favorite among gardeners, chefs, and citrus collectors alike. Introduced to the U.S. from China in 1908 by USDA explorer Frank Meyer, this naturally sweeter hybrid — a cross between a true lemon and a sweet orange — delivers vibrant flavor with less acidity and more complexity than traditional lemons.
Flavor: Bright, floral, and slightly sweet — ideal for cooking, baking, cocktails, and garnishes
Harvest Season: November through March, with sporadic fruit throughout the year
Fruit: Smooth-skinned, golden yellow to orange; 2–10 seeds per fruit
Grafting: Grafted onto standard rootstock for vigorous, long-term growth
Tree Size: A strong, well-shaped grower ideal for in-ground planting in zones 9–11
Cold Hardy: The most cold-tolerant lemon variety — handles cooler temps better than other citrus
Self-Pollinating: No second tree required for fruit
Semi-Everbearing: Produces multiple crops in a year under ideal conditions
With deep green leaves, heavily fragrant white blooms, and golden fruit that shines against winter foliage, the Meyer Lemon is more than just productive — it’s ornamental and uplifting year-round. Whether you’re planting in a landscape or large container, it brings beauty, utility, and flavor to your garden.

Winter Shipping Advisory
Cold Weather Alert: Tropical trees are highly sensitive to cold temperatures. During colder months, our greenhouses maintain warm, optimal conditions for growth, which makes plants more vulnerable to cold damage during shipping.
Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
Shipping Schedule
Local (In-State) Shipments: Orders ship Monday through Wednesday to ensure delivery before the weekend. Most locations within the state receive deliveries in 1 to 2 days.
Out-of-State Shipments: Orders ship primarily on Monday and Tuesday to avoid weekend delays.
