This probably natural hybrid of lemon (Citrus limon) and orange (Citrus sinensis) got its name from the American explorer Frank N. Meyer (1908). It is listed as a species (Citrus x meyeri) or, less common, as a cultivar (Citrus limon ‘Meyeri’). Compared to other lemon cultivars, its growth is very compact, its maximum size and leaves smaller. The flower buds have a red-purple tinge and are clustered in dense groups. They unfold their 3-4 cm large, white, fragrant flowers during the whole growing season, but mainly in spring and late summer months. The fruits are distinctly round, smaller than those of ‘Lunario’ for example, and their skins are bright yellow to orange. The aroma of the yellow, juicy flesh is mildly acidic, and many top chefs prefer it to the dominant aroma of ‘Lunario’. Probably for this reason, many restaurants and hotels order the historic but still little known Meyer’s lemon tree. Note: although in common literature it is often written that Meyer’s lemon tree tolerates even longer periods of frost we – from our own experience – cannot agree and recommend that you bring it indoors for overwintering.
