General Description: The Meyer Lemon,
when grown in the ground regularly
reaches 6-9 feet, but can be pruned or
planted in pots. The leaves are dark green
and tend to be waxy and shiny. The fruit is
similar to a conventional lemon, but is
usually rounder and when ripe it is more
orange. The flower is typically small and
white with yellow antheridium. The plant is
believed to be a cross between a pure
lemon and a mandarin orange tree.
