Large Lemon Meyer

We're delighted to have had a fresh delivery of these popular lemon trees this week. Just as pictured they are lovely strong 6 year old trees with a good shape and masses of white buds and even the odd ripening green fruit. This scented blossom will slowly open over the coming weeks and then develop into baby green fruits. In turn these baby fruit buds will then slowly ripen through the summer months ready for a tasty winter harvest.

Lemon Meyers are a variety that are particularly well known for their hardiness and they can thrive outside on a sheltered patio for most of the year. They are happy with temperatures right down to -1C but this winter has been so wet that it is worth thinking about keeping them indoors until the worst of the rain is past. At the moment, probably the best spot is a cool bright room but now the nights are getting warmer and the end of the rains and floods are in sight, it won't be long before they will be happy outside. They make a great feature plant on a sunny patio as pictured here, in a rare spot of winter sunshine!
