Description
Dwarf Meyer lemon trees are shrub-like, but they can be pruned and made to look like a tree. The beautiful blossoms of this lemon tree are white and delightfully fragrant much like blended citrus with jasmine. The fruit is sweeter, has less acidic flavor & reduced bitterness compared to Lisbon or Eureka lemons.
Dwarf Improved Meyer Lemon Tree or Citrus Meyeri is a favorite among home gardeners and home cooks as it brings in the taste of tropic within their reach; it is so hardy it grows indoors and outdoors. Growing this dwarf citrus tree can be fun and rewarding as it is always either blooming or fruiting.
The Meyer lemon citrus tree, which is a natural hybrid between an orange and lemon, originated from China and was introduced in the US in 1908. In 1975, the University of California released improved glossy-leaved Meyer lemons that are virus-free and disease-resistant.
Meyer lemon trees are shrub-like, but they can be pruned and made to look like a tree. When planted in the ground it could grow as high as 6 to 10 feet high and 2 ft wide. When grown in garden pots, the tree remains smaller in size.
The beautiful blossoms of the Meyer lemon tree are white with a purple base and are delightfully fragrant. The scent is very much like that of blended citrus with jasmine and would definitely smell wonderful to many homes. The flowers also self-pollinate so you can be assured that it will bear fruits even with just that one fruit tree.
Citrus Tree Care
Dwarf Improved Meyer Lemon Tree, just like all other citrus trees, love the sun. They are the happiest in temperatures between 50 to 80 °F but can survive down to 32 °F temperature. If the temperature drops below that, you need to take them inside or protect them from frost.
Meyer lemon trees need 6-12 hours of direct sunlight per day. Outdoor trees can tolerate partial shade, but are best grown in full sun. If taken indoors during winter, place the tree near a window facing the south to get the most direct light. The potted plant should also be rotated every 3 weeks to ensure that the entire tree gets sunlight.
Uproot any grass under the lemon tree’s canopy as it takes away the nutrients your tree needs to grow properly.
Be it in-ground or potted, this dwarf lemon tree favors soil that is slightly acidic with pH between 5.7 and 6.5. It does well on soil that is well-drained and not compacted. If the lemon lime tree starts looking stressed, try using fresh potting soil. Take note though that peat moss is too acidic for citrus trees and could impede the plant from setting fruit. On the other hand, soil that is too alkaline can inhibit the plant from getting nutrients from the soil which could result to deficiencies and yellowing of leaves.
Proper watering is crucial in growing dwarf citrus, especially those grown in pots. Under watering or over watering the tree is detrimental to fruit production so keep in mind that when watering the tree you need to keep the soil moist but not saturated. Generally, in-ground Meyer lemon trees need to be watered every one to two weeks, but during dry season you need to water it more often. To determine if your potted lemon dwarf tree needs to be watered, stick your finger in the soil up to the second knuckle. If your fingertip gets damp, wait to water. If your fingertip feels dry, water the lemon tree until you see the water run out of the bottom of the pot.
To ensure that your newly bought Meyer lemon tree is healthy and fruitful, make sure that it gets all the vitamins and minerals it needs. For potted Meyer lemon tree, use a 2-1-1 slow-release citrus fertilizer in early spring as soon as you see new growth. Administer your tree with a balanced liquid fertilizer for citrus trees with micro-nutrients once in 4-6 weeks while it is growing. For outdoor Meyer lemon tree, you can only start feeding it fertilizer after 2 years on the ground, which is when they start needing a large amount of nitrogen. 2 year old lemon trees need 1/3 cup of 21-0-0 ammonium sulfate in January of February when new growth springs. Start fertilizing from the trunk to the drip line and make sure to water the area thoroughly. Repeat the process once between April and May, and once again in August or September.
Keep your lemon tree happy by pruning branches that are growing straight up and removing the damaged or crossing branches. To promote growth, cut should be made on a 45 degree angle facing upward. You should also cut out branches that blocks sunlight from the center of the tree to enhance air circulation and increase the amount of branches getting exposed to sunlight.
Fruit & Harvesting
Fruit
This Dwarf Improved Meyer Lemon Tree with evergreen foliage is a prolific fruit bearer even when young. The Meyer lemons are rounder than the regular lemon and have thin yellow skin that is absolutely fragrant. The fruits are sweeter, have less acidic flavor and reduced bitterness compared to Lisbon or Eureka varieties found in supermarkets, and contain around 10 seeds per fruit.
Harvesting
Healthy Meyer lemon trees produce more fruit so it is wise to take care of them at all times. Fruits that have sprouted from Meyer lemon trees that are younger than 2 years old should be removed because the trees still need to develop strong root system. Furthermore, plucking the fruits from young trees will guarantee that they are healthy enough to produce a lot of fruit by the time they are well established.
Determining the ripeness of your Meyer lemon tree lemons by sight is not 100% fool proof because some lemons are brightly colored even if they are not yet ready to eat, while some are already juicy even when they are still slightly green. Since Meyer lemons will only continue to ripen while still on the tree, make sure that the fruits are already ripe before you harvest them. The best way to know if your lemons are ripe and ready to be harvested is by tasting them.
You can pick the fruit directly from the tree using your bare hands by holding the entire fruit with your hand and twisting it gently until it breaks free. To avoid the risk of damaging the tree while harvesting the fruit, use a knife or scissor to harvest the fruit to steer clear of accidentally pulling off a larger piece than planned.
Advice
If you have just bought a Dwarf Improved Meyer Lemon Tree, keep in mind that when planted on ground it could grow as tall as 6-10 feet, while those planted in a pot will be smaller. It usually blooms or bears fruit in Spring and Fall. Just like other citrus trees it needs to be protected from temperatures below 32°F, and although it can be taken in door during winter season, it is not best to keep your Meyer lemon tree indoors.
Pests and Diseases
Just like other lemon trees, Meyer Lemon Trees are susceptible to specific types of pests like citrus leaf miner, scale insects and aphids.
| Type of Pest |
Necessary Treatment |
| Scale Insects |
Use one percent Horticultural oil solution mixed with water.
You can also use diluted rubbing oil. |
| Mites |
Sulfur spray.
Do not use oil sprays as they are not effective for this type of pest.
Make sure that the soil is moist before use. |
| Aphids |
Biological controls, including lacewigs and lady beetles
Insecticidal soaps
Horticultural oil solution mixed with water is also an effective treatment for problems with aphids. |
| Citrus Leaf Miner |
Biological controls like predatory insects that are parasitoid.
Citrus leaf miner insecticide that you can directly put to the ground to be absorbed by the tree.
Horticulture oil with spinosad. |

I ordered the 4-5 year old tree (3 gal), and it is nothing short of amazing! The tree was well packaged, true-to-size, and very full with healthy leaves. It arrived with five good sized lemons on it. I repotted and fed it with an organic citrus food and placed it on my back deck in metro Atlanta, Zone 7b. Within a week or two, new bloom clusters began to form all over the tree. Shortly after that, it was in full bloom with five clusters of the most delightfully fragrant purplish white blooms that stayed beautiful for weeks. Dozens of tiny lemons have now formed from each of those blossoms. If I wasn’t impressed enough, six new bloom clusters are developing now! I’ve only had the tree five weeks. It is extremely healthy and is producing new growth/leaves. I also have to compliment Citrus.com’s customer service. FedEx destroyed my first tree from a lengthy delay/damage in shipping (no fault of Citrus.com), and Citrus.com replaced it immediately. This was my first purchase from Citrus.com, and I definitely will use them again.

My dwarf lemon tree arrived today and it was absolutely beautiful! It was packaged securely and made the trip to my home with no damage. Even though we will be repotting the tree I love that it came already in a pot so we can open it up and let it adjust to its new home before repotting it.
During the process of looking through the web site to select my tree and the appropriate accessories I found it a little confusing trying to figure out exactly what I would need for a healthy tree. As such I ended up ordering too much soil and missed the fact that there was a “care bundle” that I could order for less money. Imagine my surprise when citrus.com reached out to me the next day to inquire about making some changes to my order that ended up giving me exactly what I would need to care for my trees while saving my almost $70.00. I was absolutely amazed, not many companies would go out fo their way to save a customer that kind of money especially when the order was already placed. Thank you citrus.com, I will definitely be ordering from you again!

Good sized tree. Leaves arrived looking as if they had some sort of powdery mildew on them, but i washed them off and they look a little better. I have seen healthier looking lemon tree leaves that were shinier and all green, not dusted with white. The good news is that there were marvelously scented flowers which have since transformed into the tiny beginnings of lemons (3!) Time will tell if it’s really haelthy or not.

My tree looks nothing like the picture and I don’t know if it ever will. It is a short stalk that is the trunk I guess and a single random branch growing off of it at an awkward angle. If I don’t stake it, it falls over. I guess I will see if it ever looks like a tree but it looks like a weird long branch sticking out of the ground right now. Nothing like pictured or even a mini version of it. Disappointing.

The little trees I received were very green and appear quite healthy. The first one even had a lemon on it but the branch was broken. It was a major branch so I reported it and was sent a replacement. Unfortunately, the second tree I received also arrived damaged. I don’t think it’s possible to ship them without this happening. So I am going to plant them both and hope for the best.

Tree arrived well packaged with detailed instructions for planting in both ground and pots. Prior to delivery they provided ebooks for the same information so we were ready to plant in the pot. It’s been three weeks and our tree has 7 lemons budding already, it is so exciting to watch them grow! We didn’t lose any leaves nor show signs of distress after potting. This was our first foray into trees and we are definitely thinking of getting companion trees with how well this has gone.

The tree seems healthy enough, but am a little disappointed in how it looks… there is one main stalk, and only one branch (I’m guessing that it’s grafted) shooting off one side… so my tree looks rather lop-sided. I still planted my tree in hopes that it will start to fill out more and look a little nicer.

I have never written a review, but these trees are too good not to. My trees are now 2 years old and loaded with fruit. It takes a second to know how to treat them when they are indoors (we live in Ohio) but once you get the hang of it- they are good to go! I’ve had continual blooms and fruit setting all summer long! It’s been a wonderful investment and amazing to see how the lemons develop. Especially in our climate! If you look closely at my photo, you can see fruit at varying stages because I’ve had at least four blooms since May!

The tree arrived in great condition. In my personal opinion, buying lemon trees from a nursery that specializes in citrus trees makes a big difference. The trees are well cared for and I have purchased numerous trees from this website and I am always happy with the quality of citrus trees I have received.

The tree showed in decent condition (a few limbs broke from shipment) but sat with FedEx for an extra week. I had to file a complaint for the first time ever since it was a live tree. They found it, and finally delivered it to me. And yet the tree was still good. Thanks!

Came full with buds on multiple branches. Only one broken small branch but the tree looks healthy. Already placed this in a planter and it looks fantastic! I will definitely buy this again.

The package was obviously handled roughly by the delivery service and the root ball had dislodged from the pot and some dirt was in the upper part of the package. I waited a couple weeks to transplant. It seems fine and the plant looks healthy. Overall I am pleased with my purchase.

Absolutely gorgeous tree – the branches and foliage almost look fake because they’re so beautifully colored and glossy. Tree also arrived on the bigger end of the given size range spectrum, which is great. Definitely impressed and have already suggested this site to my other tree and plant-loving friends.

Improved Meyer Lemon Tree arrived a few days later than I was first told but other than that it arrived fine. I will say I was a little disappointed with the plant itself. ,I thought it would be a little fuller. But I’ll work with it.

The tree arrived on time and in perfect condition. The planting and care instructions took out any guesswork. The top leaves and branches were a little compacted from packaging but not permanently damaged. Not one leaf came off in transit. After just a day or two they had expanded and look great. Thanks for the prompt shipping and healthy product!

My Dwarf Meyer Lemon arrived a little ahead of schedule. It was packed very well and had lost only 2 leaves. It looks very healthy and has many leaves left and a small lemon forming already. It is about 24 inches tall. I have had this about 5 days now and it appears to be adjusting nicely to my patio here in the Seattle area.

The dwarf Improved Meyer Lemon Tree was shipped very quickly and packaged snugged as a bug!! There were no damage to the shipping box: however, when I opened the box and started unwrapping the tree, 2 nice size lemons (green) fell off and another one was attached but hanging on a broken branch. In addition, the 3 year old tree was “thinner” than what I was hoping for. Other than those 2 things, the tree is healthy looking and now potted in its forever pot!
