Do Meyer lemons produce year round?

One great thing about the Meyer lemon is that it can bear fruit almost all year round . It's also quite resilient and can thrive outdoors. It can still do well outdoors during winter so long as the temperature doesn't drop below 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

What is so special about Meyer lemons?

The truth is, they're an entirely different breed. Compared to sour Eureka and Lisbon lemons (the varieties you'll find year-round at most grocery stores), Meyer lemons are sweeter and less acidic, with lovely floral undertones .

Can Meyer lemons be substituted for regular lemons?

THE BOTTOM LINE: For applications that don't depend on the bracing acidity of a standard lemon, a Meyer lemon can be a fine substitute . But where a recipe demands bold, bright flavor for balance, reach for a standard lemon.

Can I freeze Meyer lemons?

Yes, you can . The method is simple, and the result is fabulous. You'll find many uses for frozen lemons, and you can use nearly every part of the fruit in the process. Freezing lemons means you'll always have fresh lemon on hand to add zip to dishes and tang to drinks.

What month do Meyer lemons ripen?

How will I know when they are ready to harvest? Meyer lemons ripen, between November and April . You probably noticed they flowered over a long period of time, and obviously the first fruit to set would be the ones that ripened in November. The fruit will change color as it becomes ripe.

How long does it take for a Meyer lemon tree to bear fruit?

As for fruit, the Meyer lemon tree should produce citrus every year after it reaches maturity—i.e., around four years old . Growing a citrus tree on your own may sound daunting—most of us aren't farmers—but we promise it's just as easy as caring for your favorite houseplant (and maybe easier in some cases).

Do Meyer lemons like full sun?

Meyer lemon trees love full sun exposure . Citrus tree care rules dictate that your lemon tree should get at least eight hours of full sunlight daily. If you want to ensure that your fruit trees will bear their signature egg-yolk-colored fruit, allow your Meyer lemon tree to have as much sun as possible year-round.

Can a Meyer lemon tree have too many lemons?

Be sure to look at the number of lemons you have growing. In order to prevent fruit overbearing, when your tree starts to fruit, you'll want to remove a few lemons in large clusters when they're pea sized . This will promote the growth of larger lemons when they reach maturity.

How long do Meyer lemons last in the refrigerator?

How long lemons last depends on how they're stored. At room temperature, they stay good for about a week. In the fridge, however, their life is lengthened by two to three weeks . That means you can keep store-bought lemons fresh for about one month.

Are Meyer lemons good for baking?

Impress your guests by using Meyer lemons to add a whimsical twist to your specialty recipes. Whether you're updating your bar's co*cktail menu or baking delicious desserts for your cafe, Meyer lemons can be the sweet and tangy addition to take your creations to the next level.
