How to Grow Meyer Lemons in Containers Pt. 1

DON'T WORRY everyone I'll be drilling holes...take a deep breath :)

trying to grow my "bush" in a fabric pot

Just bought one and moved it to a bigger pot, leaves look a little sad, any tips?

Terrible pot for citrus due to shape. Cause you gotta repot them usually once a year and this shape will not allow it to go out without breaking ground and some roots. which is unnecessary stress.

Something has eaten all my tiny lemon fruits. 😡

Can you transplant it to soil (i.e. put it in your yard) at a later date?

I can not believe that you are planting that lemon tree in a pot with 0 drain holes🤦‍♀️.. Your roots will rot very very quickly. Just please stop teaching people anything. You are wrong! 🚫

Loved your video, very intuitive, just got my first improved Meyers tree and your video gave me all I needed to grow in a pot, Thank you!!

meyers are often rotten when they arrive at the store, it’s sad

I have a planter 18" diameter X 14.5" high, 34quarts. Is this big enough for my new Meyer lemon, which is already fruiting like crazy?

Where are the follow up updates?

Thank you❤

How do indoor trees get pollenated ?

How old was your Meyer when you got it?

You can drill drainage wholes in ceramic containers with a masonry drill bit if you put some masking tape on both sides of the pot first it is extra safe to prevent cracking.

Meyer Lemons must be grown from a grafted rootstock. Other Lemons will grow true to type from seeds. Eureka and Lisbon are two. It could take 5 to 10 years to get fruit.

Where did you purchase your Meyer lemon tree from? Thanks💕🍋

I would love to get 2 of the Meyer lemons but I am in Canada. How can I get one or two?

Did you have any issues with the roots of the lemon tree? Where is you purchase your loquat tree from? I have been looking for one to plant.

this has almost 1 million views and you never made a part 2? sheesh.

What about the dragon fruit?

I have questions...

I'm in zone 5b. How small will these stay in a container?

A lemon tree is my gardening holy grail.

I love your content ❤
I’m growing my own herbs this year, I’m tired of buying from the store. Do you mind sharing a good soil or soil mix for herbs? I’m buying a planter raised bed.
Thank you!

Did you mean to say "deeper than it is wide?" It seems like a deep pot would get top heavy. Can you elaborate, please? Thanks.

Thanks, Kevin, for the great tips!

No drainage is a very bad idea for these trees.

Get to the point. You talk about a lot of nonsense in your videos.

Too much words and too little useful information...

How’s the tree doing now? Any fruit 🍋 yet?

Nice video! Where is Pt. 2? I can't find it.

Is this possible in southern WI?

your new tree be like "sir are you smelling my feet?!"
"yes, and it has a unique smell"

Where is part 2?

Brave putting that it pot without drainage

Hi man. Where can i find this Meyer trees in middle east? Can we get in touch?

I live in Colorado a little above 6000 ft.. I'm just southeast of Denver. Do I stand an ice cube's chance of growing a Meyer's lemon tree?

Hello, Thank you so much for all of your growing tips and your calm nature - I live in Las Cruces NM in zone 8 but a or b I don’t know, I had a lemon tree in a pot and I grew it mostly indoors and it produced 6 lemons this summer I put it outside & at one point it didn’t do well all the leaves dried and fell off but the lemons didn’t drop they were still ripening -I decided to plant it on the side where the sun rises against our brick house to avoid the hot weather of the desert - and what do you know it’s sprouting more leaves than it’s ever had and the fruit is still ripening - before planting I amended the soil w cactus soil and potting soil, its doing well, we had 3 days of monsoon rain and I think it loves its new home - winter will be an issue, most of our winter days are in the 50 & 60´s & last year we had 15 nights where it dropped to 15 but only for a few hrs at night - I know I’ll have to protect the tree - any suggestions ????

Does the improved version have a special name to search by?

Maybe because I live in Florida but that’s only kind they sell. I’m currently waiting on my delivery of it.

EXCELLENT INFO AS ALWAYS!!

Is there a reason your leaves are shiny and dark because all the ones I’ve looked at the leaves are much more dull and lighter

Thank you Epic Gardening! Enjoyed your video.
