It's best to grow Meyer lemons in a frost-free climate, but you can grow them in pots in slightly cooler climates. If sub-freezing temperatures are predicted, move a potted Meyer lemon indoors or harvest all the fruit from an in-ground tree and water it thoroughly to moisten the soil around the roots. Picking the fruit before a freeze will protect both the fruit and the tree from freeze damage. If you pick too many lemons from the tree to use right away, squeeze the juice and freeze it. The color of a lemon is not the only indicator the fruit is ready. Because Meyer lemons taste sweeter than standard lemons, is important to know when to harvest the fruit. Color change is a sign your Meyer lemons may be ready, but you should taste a fruit or two for a sweet-tart flavor. When the taste best is when you need to pick them.

Most Minneola fruit are characterized by a stem-end neck which tends to make the fruit appear pear or bell-shaped. The fruit is usually large, typically 3 - 3½ inches in diameter. The peel is relatively thin, smooth, and tends to adhere to the internal fruit surface. Fruit produced on trees in solid plantings of Minneola are likely to be seedless (or nearly so), while trees in mixed plantings will typically have 7-12 seeds due to the influence of cross-pollination. Minneola should be harvested late in the season to ensure the fruit reaches a desirable sugar to acid ratio. If left on the tree too long, the following crop will yield less fruit. Minneola trees are quite vigorous, and given adequate room to develop, will make large trees. They also tend to be fairly cold hardy. Minneola blossoms are self-incompatible and must be cross-pollinated by a suitable pollinator to ensure good fruit set. Most mandarin-types are suitable pollinators, except for Satsumas and Minneola’s siblings, Orlando, and Seminole. NOTE: The asterisk means it is one of Greg's favorites, the (S+) means is it self fruitful but does better with a mandarin nearby.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FT - Citrus Trees","offers":[{"title":"5 gallon","offer_id":48514869854391,"sku":"CP-Tglo-Min-05","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 gallon","offer_id":48514869887159,"sku":"CP-Tglo-Min-15","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/2441\/2599\/files\/minneolatangelo2.jpg?v=1780400964"}],"url":"https:\/\/store.urbanfarm.org\/collections\/featured-citrus-trees.oembed","provider":"UrbanFarm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
