Meyer lemon blooms have a lovely fragrance; the blooms are just the beginning of the "deliciousness" to come.

A cross between a  lemon and a mandarin orange originating from China arriving to the U.S. in 1908 via Frank Meyer (thus the name). Excellent for a patio tree and worth the effort to protect against temperatures below 25 degrees.

Our first crop from three small trees provided 18 lemons. I can hardly wait to get make my lemon marmalade. Not much longer...

Be sure to look for Meyer lemons at your local farmer's market or nursery to enjoy the most splendid lemon imaginable.
