The Meyer is a hybrid of a mandarin and a lemon and is one of the easiest and most reliable fruiting trees for New Zealand gardeners. It has clean green leaves and waxy white flowers which appear in spring, summer and autumn. When mature they produce a tasty, juicy fruit and have a long fruiting period making them one of the most popular citrus trees for home gardeners. Hardy and attractive in shape and form. Keep watered during the summer months.
