Dwarf Meyer Lemon Tree Hanging Basket (Height: 18 - 26 IN)
This Dwarf Meyer Lemon Tree comes ready to grow in a hanging basket, which saves space, makes growing easy, and lets you pick lemons with ease. The Dwarf Meyer Lemon Tree is a hybrid between a lemon tree and a mandarin orange tree. It was discovered in 1908 by Dutch horticulturist and botanist Frank Meyer. The new lemon hybrid was sent to the United States where it became popular with growers and consumers. The Improved Meyer Lemon Tree was developed and released in 1975 and is a more disease-resistant version of the tree. The Dwarf Meyer Lemon Tree is cold hardy for a citrus tree and is suited to grow in USDA hardiness zones 8 to 11. Potted Dwarf Meyer Lemon Trees will remain small but with enough light, water, fertilizer, and time they will grow full-sized Meyer Lemons. Planted in the ground, a Dwarf Meyer Lemon Tree will grow up to 4 to 6 feet tall. The trees are nearly thornless, have white-purple blooms, and both the blooms and the glossy green leaves are fragrant.
