I never knew what a Meyer lemon was until I moved to California where almost every other person has a dwarf tree in their yard. They are beautiful, thick skinned bright yellow orbs of citrus. Since they are delicate and don’t travel well, you rarely see them in the markets. They’re a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange and lack the sourness of the oridinary lemon. They are highly fragrant and provide a gentler citrus kiss in food and drink. Back home in Philadelphia, I am cultivating a baby Meyer in my sun room. It is too young to bear fruit yet but the scent of the blossoms is blissful.
