Meyer Lemon Citrus

The Meyer lemon (Citrus × meyeri) is a hybrid citrus fruit believed to be a cross between a true lemon and a mandarin orange. It’s smaller and rounder than a regular lemon, with a thin, smooth skin that turns deep yellow to orange when ripe. The flesh is sweeter, less acidic, and more aromatic, making it a favorite in culinary uses—from desserts and drinks to savory dishes. The Meyer lemon tree is compact, evergreen, and produces fragrant white blossoms, making it popular for home gardens and container growing.
