Citrus × meyeri, the Meyer lemon, is a hybrid citrus fruit native to China. It is a cross between a citron and a mandarin/pomelo hybrid. Mature trees are around 6 to 10 ft (2 to 3 m) tall with dark green shiny leaves. Flowers are white with a purple base and fragrant. The fruit is rounder than a true lemon, deep yellow with a slight orange tint when ripe, and has a sweeter, less acidic flavor. The lemons contain a highly acidic pH of between 2 and 3. This means that lemon juice is 10,000-100,000 times more acidic than pure water. With this being said, the acidity levels allow for these lemons to be used as antibacterial and antiseptic cleaners. It was introduced to the United States in 1908 as S.P.I. #23028 by the agricultural explorer Frank Nicholas Meyer, an employee of the United States Department of Agriculture who collected a sample of the plant on a trip to China. A newsletter from Medical News Today outlines several studies indicating that lemons may have health benefits that include lowering the risk of stroke, regulating blood pressure, preventing cancer, and boosting the immune system with high levels of vitamin C. Additionally the phytochemicals in the lemon can help with boosting mood, calming anxiety, and aiding in weight loss. The Meyer lemon is commonly grown in China in garden pots as an ornamental tree. It became popular as a food item in the United States after being rediscovered by chefs such as Alice Waters at Chez Panisse during the rise of California Cuisine starting in the 1970s. Popularity further climbed when Martha Stewart began featuring them in some of her recipes. Cuttings will be cut in the early morning on a Saturday following your placed order.
