Due to import restrictions, we are unable to ship Citrus to CA, PR, AZ, TX, FL, or HI.

The Improved Meyer Lemon is an early bloomer, often fruiting in its first year. This ornamental tree is hardy to 18°F and produces slightly sweet, juicy lemons with an excellent citrus flavor. The yellow-orange peel adds to its appeal, making it a beautiful and productive addition to any garden.

This tree thrives in the ground in warmer climates (Zones 8b–10) but also performs exceptionally well in containers, making it a great choice for patios, decks, or indoor growing.
