One of the most popular citrus trees to grow lemons is the Improved Meyer Lemon Tree. Every proper garden in the United States should include this tree to produce delicious lemons. Also known as a “Valley Lemon” in Texas, the Meyer lemon tree is a handsome, ornamental, and small citrus tree.

The Meyer lemon, scientifically known as Citrus × meyeri 'Improved', is a hybrid citrus fruit native to China. The lemon became widely grown in California by the mid-1940s. The Meyer lemon tree is perfect for growing an abundance of juicy and flavorful lemons both indoors and out.
