Hello Helene,
  That sounds like Calamondin to me.  The skin is sweet, the inside sour.  Makes a wonderful marmalade, cake filling or cheesecake.  Meyer lemon are yellow and shaped like lemons.     Hector Black zone 6, middle TN

Subject: [NAFEX] More on Meyer Lemon

Dear members,
Today, I went to a store, much like your Home Depot in the States, and
found in their greenhouse little citrus bushes full of orange-looking fruits that the clerk, 
who was new in the plant business obviously, assured me were supposed to 
be lemons, although the labelling was non existent. Does Meyer lemon  
look like small squat oranges? They were numerous but very small, with a 
bit of everything in the bush, from flowers to small green balls to 
fruits at every stages of ripeness. The bush was in a very small pot for 
its size, so that could account for the size of the fruit. I brought one 
fruit home, looking very ripe, and it does taste like very sour 
tangerine-like.... Sweeter than lemons, at the same time quite sour too.
How does that sound to you, Ginda? Could they be Meyer lemons?
The bushes are selling for $21 dollars...
Maybe, they are kept in a small pot to facilitate handling.
 
Hélène, zone 3-4 under a lot of breaking records snow.
I can reach the top of my semi dwarf trees for pruning without snow shoes until close to noon, since there is also a layer of ice under a few inches. Most of my trees are still buried. Underneath, the ground is not even frozen. Quite a winter!
