I grow one in a pot, and it usually produces a few lemons for me each year.  Actually, it lives in a pot in the winter, and in the ground in my backyard in the summer.  It likes full sun, but I found it too much work to keep it watered in a pot in full sun - in the ground, it rarely needs to be watered.  (Indoors, it gets watered once a week, except when I forget.)

Yes, the fruit tastes a little like a tangerine, and a little like a lemon, and a little like itself.  It's nearly as sour as a standard lemon - not a fruit to eat our of hand unless you like very sour fruit.  I like the flavor a lot, and I use it instead of lemon when I have some.  In a good year I get fruit around Passover, and use it for a special Passover dessert.

I've also had some grown in California, in the ground, in full sun year round.  That was a good-sized tree, and produced lots of fruit.  It was sweeter than mine ever get, although still not "out of hand" sweet.

Greetings to all list members:

I would like to find out more about Meyer Lemon. They are suppose to have a tangerine taste and are used to make pickled lemons in salt.

Where are they grown. Can you grow them in pots indoors?

Thank you for any information on this subject.

Hélène
