Meyer Lemon Harvest

If you live in Southern California, sometimes you are lucky to have a fruit bearing tree on your property.

When I moved into my place in 2019, there was a dying Meyer lemon tree in the corner that was struggling to bare fruit and survive. Over the years with some encouraging words and some fertilizer and love this tree has become such a godsend! Each harvest the lemons get bigger and even more fragrant!

These citrus trees thrive in warm climates and are often easier to care for than traditional lemon trees. If you're considering starting your own Meyer lemon tree, proper sunlight and well-drained soil are essential. Keep the tree well-watered but avoid overwatering, which can harm the roots. Regular pruning helps promote better air circulation and encourages healthy growth. In addition to their delightful flavor, Meyer lemons have many culinary uses. They can enhance salad dressings, marinades, and desserts, or simply be enjoyed raw. For home gardeners, they provide not only fruit but also an aromatic addition to your outdoor space. With proper care and attention, your Meyer lemon tree will produce an abundance of fragrant fruit for years to come.
