Eureka Lemon Vs Meyer lemon / Growing in containers 《Which produces fruit sooner, taste better?》

[@BlueJayFromDa9]

I purchased a Meyer Lemon tree in November.....I’m growing it indoors in my living room I lost majority of the leaves between then and Jan I believe it was a soil and light issue. I hung up LED light to my ceiling and updated my soil to something much lighter than what I had at the beginning it started blooming and growing new leaves about 3 weeks ago the flower buds are slowly getting bigger I can’t wait to try some lemons later this year if I don’t kill my tree by then but I think I got the hang of it now

[@GardenloveHomestead]

That is amazing, I'm so happy you didn't give up on and you fixed the problem. Yay. It will totally be fine. It might produce fruit next year since the roots are getting established this year. Dont be discouraged if you dont get any fruit its normal. Please keep me posted.

[@BlueJayFromDa9]

Garden Love I actually have 2 baby lemons growing now and new flower cluster buds growing

[@liven4happynus115]

What kind of soil did you end up using? I just bought a lemon tree.

[@bobb2251]

Actually, skin has more benefits than juice. Thick skin is excellent for baking ! Also ,u can freese the lemon,blend it with the skin(!),dilute with water and here we go,Lemonade🎉

[@roki5337]

I like how you have trellised the trees.

@@em286 you can totally do it. My yard might look big on my videos but its really not. I just squeeze everything in here lol. You can do it. Plus i noticed that the plants like it better when there is other plants around. That might sound weird but it i noticed my plants grow better and faster when it around other plans vs being in a lonely spot. 🥰💗

[@RonaBerryMorin]

I've been wanting a Meyer lemon tree, for years. After watching your video, I feel confident that I can grow one.

[@GardenloveHomestead]

🤗🤗🤗 yay! You should, Meyer lemon are very easy to grow. Your will love it! Please keep me posted on 🤗🤗 if you are planning on growing it in a container. Just feed it once a month, water it often, and purchase the right soil. Lastly put it in the right spot. You can move it around until you notice the tree likes it.

Yay! That is so awesome, thank you for watching and Sharing your discovery. Im happy to hear this was helpful. What else are you growing? It was fun making this video. 🤗💚

[@mamabear9509]

Im growing a 1 dwarf donut peach, 2 red baron peach, 1 goldmine nectarine, 1 burgandy plum almost all in various stages of bloom and just transplanted inground because the roots grew straight down thru the drain holes. These are all from last year. I also have a Fuyu that suffered a ton of Santa Ana wind damage. The buds and stems look dead but the tree is green when I scratch the trunk. This year I got a pink guava, a bare root stella cherry, 2 bare root black berry starts. Im so excited to get fruit. All I need are bees and sunshine!

[@mamabear9509]

My stone fruit trees were in containers on top of bare soil and the.roots grew thru the bottom. We recently planted them in ground and they seem fine. I've watched many of your latest videos, do you ever have this problem? If not, is it because of the empty water bottles at the bottom of the pot? Thank you so much!

[@GardenloveHomestead]

@@mamabear9509 I have had that happen before. Infact I think the Eureka lemon in front of my house has set roots below. Its no big deal, when im ready I'll just remove the pot and the roots will get a little prunning😅. No big deal.

[@jalapeno6847]

I have a semi-dwarf Meyers lemon tree that is the best tasting lemon ever. Here in AZ they have the new improved lemon which, i'm not sure what that means as I purchased one and at about two years old produced several lemons, I really preferred the old Meyers lemons. I also had a eureka that produced a lot of lemons but didn't know what to do with them. The original Meyers I purchased in Ca is delicious, it is a cross between a lemon and orange and the bad thing about it is that I can't stop eating them. The kids and Grand kids wait all year to eat these lemons with a Mexican chili plum. Our tree is a bout 6 ft tall. Also our Meyer lemons are almost the size of a naval orange, they are really big. Depending on the fertilizer don't put too much as it might cause the leaves to fall off and possibly the newly growing seeds.

[@theman4908]

I love meyer lemon color. More exclusive and more beautiful

[@GardenloveHomestead]

I do too, their great! Definitely a must have.

[@socalbackyardgardener]

Great video! I like the Lisbon/eureka more. My household does not like Meyer lemons but I will graft a few branches onto my lisbon (which is now pink variegated, Smith blood orange, Frost Valencia, Washington Navel, and Clamondon) as I am intrigued to try the lemonade. See my grafting update video..

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Wow I'll definitely take a look. I have a big Eureka lemon behind me. It came with this house. I finally got it to produce tons of lemons as you can see. I might graft that tree too. Ill go see yoyr video Thanks for watching 😊

[@socalbackyardgardener]

Garden love you probably already know about epsom salt? It will make all trees especially citrus take off. My Lemon tree came with the house but only produced 1 lemon the first 2 years. Now it has lemons year round. Its loaded that why it’s excellent rootstock for grafting.. good luck can’t wait to see your grafting results!

[@liven4happynus115]

Diana what to you feed your TREES anythig special , and how often ? Thank you for the comparison.

[@GardenloveHomestead]

I feed them once a month several thing only from Freb through October here in California. I'm working on a video all about feeding fruit trees in containers. coming soon. Thank you for watching and for your support. :)

[@alanmercieca3086]

I prefer improved Meyer lemons for baking not drinking, because to me improved Meyer lemons either taste too much like mandarin orange to be used for something like lemon aid /a lemony drink, or they are too acidic. I have discovered that if you pick them what seems like way too early, then they taste like the best lemons you ever tasted, with no orange flavor at all yet very very acidic, more acidic than a true lemon and very hard to pick them at the right time to get the lemons that way. I have found a way to make a lemon pie with them, without picking them early, and it turns out very lemony, not too sweet, and the orange flavor does not stand out so much in the pie as it does fresh. I think that I may have bought Eureka Lemons at the grocery store before yet I am not sure, regardless I prefer a real lemony flavor in lemon aid, so I would choose Eureka over improved Meyer for a lot of things, I'd never drink any lemon juice as is because of my acid reflux, plus it's very bad for the teeth and the gums to drink it strait often, then again if you let a Meyer lemon get way more orange than you did, it would be even more towards the mandarin side, and should not be too acidic at that point, by then I think of it more of a mandarin than a lemon. Our improved Meyer lemon did start producing lemons young, yet has been low production, I got it in 2013, I think that the rootstock that it's on, is causing the low production, it's unusually persistent to grow shoots.

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Hi Alan, thank you for all your feed back. I really hope others read this opinion. They they can get both side and it may help other make a choice. I wish i knew how to make pies. I'm not the best in the kitchen, lol.

[@alanmercieca3086]

@@GardenloveHomestead a lot of people like the improved Meyer Lemon for making mixed drinks, because of the mandarin orange like taste to it, and because it's sweeter than normal lemons. The only problem with Meyer lemon for baking, is the zest is nothing like a normal lemon's zest. Some day I will post something on the internet about the Meyer lemon with more detail. I was going to get rid of the tree until I was surprised how good I started making lemon pies with it, it took some trial and error, yet I did it. You are welcome.

Citrus can produce fruit for a life time, with the right care. Regularly water, mulch, fertilizing, trimming ect. Will you be having it in a pot or in the ground?

How can you differentiate a Lisbon lemon from Eureka lemon? I heard the Lisbon is the lemon most often sold in groceries and looks very similar to the Eureka lemon.

[@GardenloveHomestead]

That's very good question. A friend just gifted me a mature lisbo lemon. I planted it last week and it has some fruit setting on it. As soon as the fruit matures I will grab a Eureka Lemon 🍋 and a Lisbo lemon and we can compare. You ate right they really do have alot of similarities.

The lemons that are found in US have a very thick rind and not so juicy and may also lack aroma. Better to grow key lime and bearss/tahiti lime instead of lemons. In Asian country like India we have lemons which are spherical in shape and with a very thin rind. They are very juicy and not so acidic as compared to limes.

[@GardenloveHomestead]

I agree with you! I have 2 key limes and those little limes have sooooo much juice! I love them! The nice thing is that when the lemons are all gone the key limes are available 🤗🙂 so I always have citrus available 🤗. But i will be repotting a Mexican lime soon

Meyer lemon is sour and is why it’s paired with salmon and chicken. Eureka lemon is sweet, smells like lemon candy and makes far better lemonade. These are not ground planted and may not be getting the full nutrient spectrum, proper maintenance etc..
