About The Citrus Lovers Bundle

Meet the Citrus Lovers Bundle: an Improved Meyer Lemon Bush and a Key Lime Bush, paired up for double the homegrown goodness! Sweet, fragrant lemons meet tart, tangy limes — perfect for brightening up recipes, cocktails, or anyone who loves the idea of harvesting fresh fruit at home. Easy to care for, this duo brings lush greenery, fragrant blossoms, and plenty of zest right to your space.

Why You'll Love It:

Compact Size: Container-friendly and great for patios, balconies, or small gardens.
Year-Round Interest: With glossy evergreen leaves, fragrant flowers, and vibrant fruit, they're a four-season showstopper.
Abundant Fruit: Both the Meyer Lemon and Key Lime bushes can produce generous harvests, giving you plenty of fresh citrus to enjoy throughout the season.

What's "Improved" About the Meyer Lemon?

The “Improved" in Improved Meyer Lemon Bush refers to advancements made to this variety of lemons to be more disease-resistant, which was a major issue for the original Meyer Lemon trees.

Overall, the Improved Meyer Lemon Bush is a very low-maintenance fruit tree, requiring nothing special beyond sunlight and water (if you want to coo some sweet nothings to it, I'm sure it won't complain).

Care Notes:

For folks in zones 8 through 11, these plants can stay outdoors all year-round, so go ahead and plant it in the ground if you'd like. For folks in cooler climates, down to zone 4, we recommend planting this in a container so you can move it indoors when the weather cools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Both are the exact same plant, but they are pruned and trained differently! A bush is allowed to grow branches lower to the ground, creating a fuller appearance. A tree (or standard) has been pruned to have a single, clear trunk with the foliage and fruit-bearing branches concentrated at the top.

What is the difference between a bush and a tree?

Depending on the size, some species may already be producing fruit when they arrive or will start within their first season. Generally though, you can expect fruit within 1 to 2 years for most trees. However, if you are growing citrus from a seed, it can take anywhere from 7 to 10 years to reach maturity and begin producing blossoms.

How long does it take for a citrus tree to produce fruit?

Yes, like most citrus trees, Meyer lemons and Key Limes contain essential oils (limonene and linalool) and psoralens that are toxic to dogs and cats. While the fruit is usually fine in small amounts, the leaves, bark, and skin can cause digestive upset or skin irritation if ingested or touched.

Is Meyer lemon trees toxic to pets?

Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before the new growth cycle begins. Focus on removing "suckers" (vigorous shoots growing from the base of the trunk), dead wood, and any branches that are crossing or crowding the center of the tree to improve airflow and light penetration.

How do I prune my citrus trees and when is the best time?
