Quick Links. By the way, Meyer Lemons are one of the best citrus varieties to grow in pots.

We grow and sell the trees here in Oregon. The fruit we get are of very good quality. The trees can take temps down to about 22 deg F but the fruit would get damaged at that point. Which leads me to my next question. I would love to grow a meyer lemon in a pot since my dining room is bright and sunny all day long without being hot.

I have just washed up some seeds and set them on my windowsill to dry. What is the procedure for starting them from seed and how many should I put to a pot? I heard it takes 10 years before it can fruit. Anyway, the process to grow them is easy. Take the seed and air dry them on a paper towel for a couple of hours. I started out with 3 seeds per pot and all sprouted. I eventually reduced it to 1 plant per pot. If you grow seeds from a Meyer lemon, the fruit you may get eventually will likely not resemble a Meyer lemon very closely.

If you want a real Meyer lemon, you need to buy a tree of that variety or graft onto a citrus rootstock. Special rootstocks for citrus can limit the eventual size of the plant and also induce earlier fruiting. If you are trying to grow a Meyer lemon from seed, you are barking up the wrong tree.

Pay heed to Carolyn's advice from inland California. If you want to grow a Meyer lemon in a large container, as I am doing here, it should be a grafted specimen on a dwarfing rootstock such as Flying Dragon or Trifoliate Orange.

Please don't try to grow these things from seed. You will end up with nothing in the way of fruit, though you might be able to grow a tree. If you want a Meyer lemon, buy a grafted tree from a nursery. Don't fiddle around with seedlings. My little containerized dwarf Meyer set a dozen lemons in the 2nd year after planting, and I don't live in the tropics.
