Citrus Tree Meyer Lemon

Meyer is a smaller growing bushy citrus fruit tree, growing to a maximum height of 1.5 metres. It produces numerous crops of medium sized lemons throughout the year. The fruit has a softer skin, turning a deep golden colour when fully ripe, containing an abundance of juice that is slightly sweeter, and containing less acid than other lemons.  This lemon also makes a fantastic pot specimen. The most cold tolerant citrus

Lemon Meyer is a compact, ever-popular citrus prized for its sweet, thin-skinned fruit and year-round fragrance. In Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, and Brisbane it thrives in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. It is best protected from strong winds and frosts, though it tolerates light frost once established. Regular watering is essential during dry spells, particularly while fruiting, but avoid waterlogging.

Mulch generously to conserve soil moisture and regulate temperature. Feed with a citrus-specific fertiliser in spring and summer to encourage prolific flowering and fruit set. In cooler regions such as Melbourne and Adelaide, choose a warm, sheltered position or large pot for frost protection, while in Sydney and Brisbane it grows strongly in open ground. With light pruning after harvest, Lemon Meyer remains compact, healthy, and highly productive, providing abundant lemons for the home garden.

Lemon Meyer pairs beautifully with aromatic herbs like rosemary, lavender and thyme, which enhance pollination and deter pests. Companion shrubs such as lavender and rosemary provide fragrance, colour, and structure while benefiting the citrus with biodiversity support.
