Dwarf Meyer Lemons

I ordered two Dwarf Meyer Lemons from Park Seeds in February-ish 2011.  Last winter the trees attempted to produce fruit.  It was a rough winter, however, between the spider-mites, scale, and low lighting in my house, and all the teeny fruits dropped off the trees.  

This summer, the trees flowered again.  I didn't give much thought to the success of this round of flowers, especially since the trees sat at my house while I've been spending most of my time at the fiance's.  

Well, I'm happy to report, there may be hope for my trees to bear fruit this year!


This lemon is about the size of a golf ball, or maybe just slightly larger.  

The same tree is flowering currently.


This little guy is on the other tree.  He has seemed to explode over night and doubles in size weekly.  I've moved the trees to the Virginia Beach house and they seem to love the blazing sun that this house provides.
