Meyer's lemon tree 'Improved, dwarf'

During the first growing season and until established it will require a regular watering schedule. Reduce watering after establishment. Feed with a citrus fertilizer in spring and in fall. Prune during the winter.¹

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Improved, dwarf is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Ensure your soil is sandy and has a ph of between 6.1 and 7.8 as Meyer's lemon tree is a weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil loving plant.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Improved, dwarf is a tender plant.
