Citrus x meyeri 'Lemonicious' pbr
This is the compact lemon that garden designers have been screaming for! With many gardens now reduced in size ‘Lemonicious’ (dwarf 'Meyer') is perfect for small courtyards and balconies where people want a fruiting Lemon. ‘Lemonicious’ produces tasty, juicy yellow fruit and clusters of small, scented white flowers.
Cultural
Thrives in a warm, full sun position and adapts well to most soil types, provided there is good drainage. To prevent pest issues such as citrus scale, leaf miner, and gall wasp, monitor your plants closely and apply appropriate treatments if detected. Minimizing insect attacks is easier when you maintain ideal growing conditions. Fertilize in spring and late summer with a high-nitrogen fertilizer to support healthy growth. The best time to pick the fruit is when they are fully yellow and slightly firm to the touch. This typically occurs about 6 to 9 months after flowering.
Landscape Uses
A great choice for edible or Mediterranean style gardens. Grows extremely well in containers or in ground and is perfect for any courtyard or balcony garden. ‘Lemonicious’ look fantastic and combines well with our new compact Olea ‘Garden Harvest’ pbr and Laurus ‘Baby Bay’ pbr.
