Meyer lemon trees are good to grow at your backyard. These trees bear fruits that can be used in
cooking or squeezed as juices. Meyer lemon trees are a cross breed of a lemon and a mandarin
fruit. While it does distinctly shows most of the characteristics of a lemon, its taste is less bitter,
sweeter and it has less acidity.
The Meyer lemon tee when bears fruits has a lot of it. Typically as the fruit develops it is green
in color but it turns to yellow-orange when it is already mature. It normally reaches one year for
the Meyer lemon tree to fully grow. The following are some ways to grow Meyer lemon tree in
your backyard.
Make a land survey on your area. It is typical that Meyer lemon trees are grown in a climate that
is not below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, you can grow lemon trees in
a controlled environment like that of a greenhouse.
When you have purchased a Meyer lemon tree planted on a pot remove it and shake off some
of the soil that is with the roots of the tree. Spray some water on the roots to moisten it. And
then plant it in a much larger container like that of a 5 gallon to give ample space for the roots
of the plant to grow. Use plastic pots when you plant the Meyer lemon tree seedling, this is so
that it can be easily moved when you need it to put it in indoors for climate changes. Put holes
on the bottom of the plastic pot so that when you water the tree it won’t be soaked in water but
it is drained of it. When you plant the Meyer tree seedling, its level from its original container
should be the same. Bury the Meyer tree seedling firmly that the stem is straight upwards and not
swaying.
Water the Meyer lemon tree everyday as it needs sufficient supply of water in order to fully
develop but do not over saturate it also. Fertilizers should also be used and choose organic
fertilizers rather than chemical ones as it has more nutrients and is very safe and healthy for the
plant to grow, use fertilizers daily or as suggested in the fertilizer’s package.
Choose the right spot for the Meyer lemon tree to grow, it needs ample direct sunlight. And it
usually has to be in the sunlight for six to eight hours on a daily basis. So be sure to have the
right spot for the Meyer lemon tree.
The time that the Meyer lemon tree is good to harvest when the fruit turns yellow-orange, and
since it bears a lot of fruit you can leave the rest in the tree as the fruit never overripe.
