Happy & Healthy
I've been researching lemon trees for awhile. I came across this Meyer lemon tree and it had really good reviews. After a month or so, I finally decided to get it. The price was reasonable so even if it didn't work out, I wouldn't lose too much money. I ordered the tree on a Monday and it came on Thursday... much faster than I expected. The packaging was great, the soil was still moist and the tree looked very healthy ( even though it was sitting outside for the whole day in 40 degrees weather). The tree measures 17" from the top of the pot to the tallest branch. There are two golf ball size lemons and a bunch of tiny ones. There are some flowers waiting to blossom. The tree also has new growth on it. Overall I am extremely happy and excited for the tree to grow. I will attach some pictures so hopefully it will be helpful for the next buyer.
UPDATED June 21, 2012: The lemon tree is still doing great. The two golf ball sized lemon survived--the tiny ones did die and drop off. However, the tree has been blossoming so much. Even if it doesn't produce a lot of lemons, it's a great indoor plant. The blossoms smell incredible and it is beautiful. I'm hoping to repot it soon so it can continue to grow. I hope Hirt adds other citrus trees to their collection, I would definitely purchase from them again!
