Mini Meyer Lemon Tree : Bring home a touch of citrus heritage Perfect as a unique gift, the Miniature Meyer Lemon Tree, or Citrus x meyeri, is a beautiful hybrid between a lemon and a mandarin orange, originating from China. Introduced to the U.S. in 1908 by the Dutch horticulturist Frank Meyer, this tree combines the best of both citrus worlds.
