Improved Meyer Lemon in bush form is the same Citrus x meyeri 'Improved' species as the tree, as a younger, compact plant. Introduced in the USA in 1908, this lemon-orange hybrid balances classic sour flavor with subtle sweetness for kitchen use.
Shrubby habit suits containers and Mediterranean-style plantings with a terracotta pot. Prefers warm climates and grows best in USDA Zones 8-11 outdoors, or indoors and in greenhouses in cooler areas with winter protection. Ships in the selected pot size for the live-goods season.
