Citrus limon x sinensis 'Meyer'
Lemon
Notes

Uses: The 'Meyer' Lemon is a hybrid and is far more cold tolerant than other varieties.
It is a smaller bushy tree. It's a good choice for containers or smaller garden beds.
The skin is thinner and the fruit is sweeter and contains less acid than other lemons.
Can be grown in locations such as roof gardens where constricted roots will constrain size.
