Meyer Lemon

        Meyer Lemon is a fruit in the citrus family.  This tree is native to China. In China they sometimes put the tree in a pot as a ornamental plant. The USA was the first country to actually used the fruit for food! The
Meyer Lemon is a cross between a lemon and either an orange or a Clementine . That cross between fruits gives it a more sweet taste then a regular lemon. When it is time for the tree to flower it is quite easy to identify. The plants flower is a bright purple and white. You can be about a foot away and be able to smell a Meyer Lemon tree full of flowers. The smell can also easily fill up a room with the fragrant smell.
