Can a Dwarf Meyer Lemon tree be grown in a pot.?

Question

I live in OKLA and it wouldn't survive our winters in the ground. If so, what would be the potting mixture
Thanks

Answer 1

Yepper!! Dig this:

Of all dwarf citrus trees, the Improved Meyer Lemon tree is one of the hardiest. And it's one of the most productive, for its size. It's not a true lemon though. In fact, the mature fruit of the Meyer lemon tree looks more like a large orange with a small nipple. It makes a delicious lemon substitute nonetheless. The Meyer Lemon flesh is a light orange-yellow color, with juice sweeter than that of most lemons. And, best of all, it is a small compact dwarf tree which can grow well in most U.S. climates. Our dwarfed Improved Meyer Lemon makes a striking addition to the patio in the summer, resembling a topiary. When it's time to MOVE THE PLANT INDOORS, the sweet perfume-scented blooms, followed by ornamental fruit, brighten just about any cold spell. Introduced to the United States (from China) in the early twentieth century, it was discovered by Frank N. Meyer, who was on assignment from the USDA as an agricultural explorer.

Thnx for asking the question...never heard of it before but I'm gonna buy me one!

I extremely have a dwarf orange tree in my domicile that I extremely have had for 10 years. I extremely have saved it pruned so that's barely 3 ft extreme. The fruit is secure to eat yet very bitter. terrific of all however are those lovable dwarf oranges each fall/wintry climate. i offered it in Florida as a tiny seedling- I stay in Minnesota and bring it indoors each (late) fall, it spends all spring/summer season outdoors. that's a satisfaction to have! solid success!

I grow them in Arkansas. You need a really light potting mixture as they need air to "breathe" just like you do. I use bark, vermiculite, contractor sand and peat moss. Don't go real heavy on watering as they will get root rot. Make sure the pot has good drainage.

I'm sure it can be in a pot for a while. You should check out these web sites. Make sure you get a big enough pot for it. http://www.newprocontainers.com or http://www.qualitysilks.com
