Meyers Lemon Blossom

The Meyers Lemon is getting ready to bloom. It's got buds all over and the leaves look nice and healthy. Last year I harvested fom this tree in mid-December. I thought I remembered them blooming earlier last year. I guess three months from bloom to harvest is right...right?

  4. Hi Danielle, I've been following your blog for a while. I love all of your great pictures too. I was wondering how your Lulu Avocado tree is doing?

  5. Hi! I recently introduced a website related to backyards and gardens and will be including information about all sorts of topics related to making your outdoor space more personal, fun, functional and relaxing. I came across your site and thought we could both benefit by exchanging links, since our topics are related. You can check out my site at www. backyardsandgardens.com. It is fairly new so it doesn’t have a ton of content yet, but will be a great informational resource as time goes on.

    If you are interested in exchanging links on our sites, please let me know.

    Thanks!

  7. I have a containerized improved Meyer's lemon on my balcony in south Texas (hot). It is about 15 years old, and a prolific fruit producer. One thing that I've learned through the years is that all citrus trees MUST be well drained. They do not like to drink their waste water, so for best results do not put the potted plant in a saucer to collect the run-off. Allow the run-off water to drain away. Minerals and salts collect in the catchpots that hold the run-off water; the trees do not like to reabsorb this. It can cause fruit buds to drop, as well as leaves to fall off. I have observed this with not only the Meyer's lemon, but also with a tangerine tree and a blood orange tree that I have also. Let them drain freely :)
