Meyer Lemon Heaven
Reviewed By: Roni (Ramona, Ca)
We have a Meyer Lemon Tree planted in my Kitchen Garden. This dwarf tree is so full of lemons year after year after year we have friends stopping by for their lemons.Our tree was unwanted by my Aunt at least 12 years ago, we got it. It is in a sandy well drained soil. Yes it blooms year round, with the fruit still on it. Last week I picked 100 lemons, and you can't tell I picked any. I must have near 800 fruits, no exaggeration. This year is phenomenol and heavy branches are setting on the ground.So if they have IMPROVED this Lemon....OMGosh that would be Meyer Lemon Heaven.

Make lemons!
Reviewed By: Suzanne (Alexandria, VA)
After a sad experience with the postal service, our replacement lemon tree arrived in beautiful condition. We've transplanted it to a new pot and look forward to plenty of lemons and more fragrant flowers! There were a couple of flowers already on the plant when we received it. They smell divine!
