Meyer Lemon Tree – Hardiness
Q: I recently purchased a beautiful Hybrid Meyer Lemon tree. The accompanying tag said it was hardy to minus 20 degrees.
I don’t think that it has ever been that cold here so I planted it outside. Can I believe the tag or do I need to dig it up and cart it inside for the winter?
A: Someone hit the wrong key when the label was printed. Meyer lemon is hardy to the upper 20’s but freezes when it gets lower than that.
