Meyer Lemon Tree
Citrus × limon
- The 'Meyer' lemon is a wonderful citrus tree, sporting lemons that are somewhat rounder than what you'd find in the supermarket, and that offer a sweeter, less acidic flavour profile (even the rind is edible).
- Alongside the fabulous fruits, the tree produces incredible white blossoms that radiate the most gorgeous fragrance. To top it off, these sit atop a backdrop of lush evergreen foliage.
- Growing to just over a metre or so in height, the 'Meyer' lemon tree is ideal for sunlit verandas and balconies basking in sun. Plus, you've got a good-to-go garnish for an evening tipple on the terrace...
- Use the zest of your lemons for all manner of delicious recipes, including shortbread, cheesecake, marmalade and posset.

Meet Mike's trusted specialists
Start with a touch of continental sun
Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
