Description
The Meyer lemon tree (Citrus ? meyeri) has rounder fruit and fewer seeds than most lemons, with a smooth, thin skin that turns deep canary yellow when ripe. Sweeter and less acidic than other lemons, the Meyer is a hybrid between a lemon and a sweet orange or mandarin. Brought to the United States from Beijing, China, in 1908, this tree is a prolific fruit producer with showy white and fragrant blooms that emerge against dark foliage.
