Popular home garden citrus. Brought from China in 1908 by Frank Meyer, it is likely a hybrid of lemon and orange or mandarin. "Improved" refers to the California state tested, virus-free clone, a collaborative discovery of Joe Grimshaw and Floyd Dillon in the early 1950's. Trees are more compact than true lemons and are ideal for pots and container growing, indoors or outside. Prefers full sun and good drainage. Often two bloom cycles, spring and fall, providing fruit much of the year. Mature fruit takes on a golden hue.
Less acidic than Eureka or Lisbon lemon, with a softer rind. Unique flavor versatile for many uses, including desserts, salad dressing, and marinades.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
