Improved Meyer Lemon Tree – A Resilient Plant with a Sweet Fruit

The Improved Meyer Lemon Tree is the perfect choice for citrus lovers looking for homegrown flavor without the hassle. Meyer lemons are naturally sweeter than other varieties, and have a with a hint of orange flavor. They're perfect for fresh-squeezed juice, desserts, and cocktails — and you'll never have to worry about being out of lemons when a recipe calls for one! This tree variety is ideal for small spaces — whether in a container on your patio or planted in a sunny garden bed.

(The difference between the Improved Meyer Lemon Tree and the Improved Meyer Lemon Bush is simply how it's pruned — the tree has more of a "trunk", which the bush is, well, bushy, with branches throughout. Both have are compact and appropriate for smaller spaces.)

Why You'll Love It

  • Compact Size: Container-friendly and great for patios, balconies, or small gardens.
  • Year-Round Interest: With glossy evergreen leaves, fragrant flowers, and vibrant fruit, it's a four-season showstopper.
  • Very Resilient: This variety is more hearty against chilly weather and is disease-resistant, especially compared to other lemon plants.

What's "Improved" About This Plant?

The Improved" in Improved Meyer Lemon Bush refers to advancements made to this variety of lemons to be more disease-resistant, which was a major issue for the original Meyer Lemon trees.

Overall, the Improved Meyer Lemon Bush is a very low-maintenance fruit tree, requiring nothing special beyond sunlight and water (if you want to coo some sweet nothings to it, I'm sure it won't complain).
