Potted Lemons, Meyer Lemon Lisa - D12

Meyer Lemon (Lisa) is a special and highly appreciated lemon variety, known for its sweet-aromatic, juicy fruits with a balanced taste, much more pleasant than classic lemons.

This lemon variety has increased resistance and superior fruit quality. The fruits are large, sweeter, more aromatic, and juicier, almost seedless, ideal for fresh lemonades, teas, and desserts. The peel is thinner and finer, and fully ripe fruits turn orange. The peel has a strong scent of lemon, orange, and light jasmine notes.
