Plant : Citrus Meyeri Meyer Lemon
The Meyer lemon (Citrus meyeri) is an amazing plant species known for its flavor and ease of growing. It is a hybrid between a mandarin orange and a lemon, lending itself to a sweet flavor and slightly tarter taste than either of its parent fruits. Unlike other varieties of lemon, the Meyer has a slightly thinner peel and can be grown easily from seed or even from cuttings from an existing plant. The Meyer is also highly resilient, excelling in warmer climates and in pots and containers. A perfect delicacy for use in recipes, jams, or just enjoyed fresh out of hand, the Meyer lemon is one of nature’s most delightful fruits.
