Meyer Lemon Tree (Citrus × meyeri)

Meyer Lemon Trees are a compact citrus option known for their glossy green leaves, fragrant white flowers, and small, golden-yellow fruit. The lemons are slightly sweeter and less acidic than standard varieties, making them popular for cooking and drinks. Indoors, they bring a bright, fresh feel with both foliage and scent.

It’s a rewarding plant with the right light and consistency.

Fun Fact:
Meyer lemons are believed to be a natural hybrid between a lemon and a mandarin orange, which is why they have a slightly sweeter flavor.
