Meyer Lemon - Citrus limon ‘Meyer’
The Meyer is not a true lemon but a lemon and mandarin hybrid, and that parentage is exactly why it is the most planted backyard citrus in Australia. Citrus limon ‘Meyer’ makes a compact, near thornless, rounded tree that fruits young, crops through much of the year and produces thin skinned, deep yellow to orange-tinted fruit with sweeter, less acidic juice than a Eureka or Lisbon. It is the sensible choice for a small garden, a pot, or a cooler district where the standard lemons struggle.
Why Meyer Lemon
Compact frame: Naturally small and rounded, so it fits courtyards, small yards and large containers without heavy pruning.
Sweeter juice: Lower acid and higher juice content than the traditional lemons, with a thin fragrant skin.
Extended cropping: Flowers in multiple flushes with a main winter harvest and scattered fruit at other times.
Cool climate tolerance: Handles cooler and lightly frosty districts better than Eureka or Lisbon once established.
Near thornless: Very few thorns, which makes harvesting and pruning around children and paths far easier.
Ideal Applications
Kitchen garden: Planted within reach of the back door as the household lemon supply.
Large pots: Grown in a half wine barrel or a 500mm glazed pot on a sunny paved area.
Espalier: Trained flat against a warm north-facing wall to gain heat and save space.
Low productive hedge: Set in a spaced row for an edible boundary around a vegetable garden.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 1.5 to 2m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 3 to 4m
Best Planting Season: Spring through early autumn, after the last frosts in cold districts
Soil & Drainage: Free draining sandy loam at pH 6 to 7. Mound plant on clay, as root rot from wet feet is the most common cause of failure in home citrus
Establishment Care: Water deeply two or three times weekly through the first summer and keep a weed-free, grass-free circle a metre wide around the trunk. Mulch to 75mm held clear of the bark and feed with a complete citrus fertiliser in late winter and again in late summer.
