Meyer Lemon Bush

The Meyer Lemon Bush is a unique small citrus bush with golden-yellow fruit that is full of lemon juice a little sweeter than from normal lemons. It grows into a small bush around 6 feet tall, and it is the best lemon for growing in a pot, where it will thrive for years. It can also be grown outdoors in frost-free parts of the country. It flowers in spring, and fruit begins to ripen in November, remaining good until March. Grow it in an attractive pot to spend the summer outdoors, bringing it indoors when temperatures begin to approach freezing. It looks perfect on a patio, and it also makes a great gift plant for the holidays or any other special occasion.

• Compact citrus bush ideal for growing in a pot
• Juicy fruits are sweeter than regular lemons
• Easy to grow and produce a crop
• Great tree for a gift to family or friends
• Keep indoors during winter in all but the warmest zones

Grow the Meyer Lemon Bush in as much sun as possible for the biggest crop. It grows outdoors in any well-drained soil, or in a pot in blended soil for cactus, palms or citrus trees. The pot must have a drainage hole and you should use a liquid fertilizer for best results. Some pests are possible, but this tree is easy to grow and needs only a little care. Hand-pollinate flowers if the plant is indoors when it is blooming.
