The Meyer Lemon is prized among popular varieties for its slightly sweeter, distinctive flavor. It has an delightful hint of tangerine. Ripening the fruit does not require as much heat as ripening other lemon varieties takes. And when a Meyer Lemon ripens, the soft skin takes on orange hues. The tree will need to be moved indoors during the cooler months, but the plant is easy and compact, so it's not a problem. It often flowers twice a year and the blooms are fragrant, which is a lovely way to freshen up the home in winter. Citrus limon x Meyeri
