Description

Overview:


A must-have for citrus lovers, the Meyer Lemon Tree is a compact, fragrant, and highly productive citrus variety that thrives in containers and small urban gardens. Its sweetly scented white flowers bloom throughout the year, followed by thin-skinned, juicy lemons with a distinctive sweeter and less acidic flavour than traditional lemons. Perfect for South London patios, balconies, and conservatories, this evergreen tree flourishes in a sunny spot, bringing Mediterranean charm to your space. Pair with rosemary, lavender, and thyme for a stunning aromatic container display.
