Lemon ‘Improved Meyer’

‘Improved Meyer’ is the sweetheart of home citrus: thin-skinned, floral, sweeter-than-lemon fruit from early fall onward, on a compact tree with intoxicating bloom.

Pot it for the Birmingham shuffle — sun outside in the warm months, bright and cool indoors in freezes. Generous, forgiving, and the reason people get hooked on growing citrus.
