Meyer Lemon
I've seen the trees around, and where I am living now, have a Meyer Lemon that produces beautiful fruit. I'd really love to have one at my new house.
Are the trees available for purchase here in Baja Sur (or Norte) or are they uh, imported, from the USA?
thanks

If you know someone who has one you can have a cutting from it grafted to another citrus rootstock.

I smuggled in 2 Meyers and then discovered a wholesale nursery in Constitucion that grafts Meyer and Eureka Lemons - 80 pesos a tree.

We got ours on the constiticion-Insurgentes highway, on the right jus past the gas company outlet. This was 15 years ago, but I believe they're still
selling citrus trees of all kinds. We got a grapefruit, a Valencia orange, 2 Washington navels, 1 Meyers lemon, a Mandarin and a Tangerine tree from
them. And, not to forget, a lime tree. All doing well and producing more fruit than we can possibly eat.

fabulous lemon bread with the last of the fruit here. yum.

The San Nicolas Harvest 2 weeks ago:
And Yes that big bumpy lemon is a Baja Cusiosity - I've been told. They are great for lemonade.
We have about 6 of those trees in San Nicolas, too.

Per DENNIS' post above:
thought to be a cross between Eurekas or Lisbons and a mandarin orange.

willard guy...aha!!! THAT is why I kept the table in the photo...for doubting Thomas's...jejejeje
this animal has very thick skin..(unlike myself) and has a very subtle flavour...like a lemony flavoured orange....a lima...that looks like a yellow
orange with very thin skin.... I just eat the pulp and spit out the skin of the slice. They grow on you....I love them.

Mula..
Mula, can you give directions to the place in constitution that sells the myers trees? I have a friend driving down soon, that might make a purchase
for me. We are south now, and not driving north again this year.
Gracias,
David

Same place for Toronja Roja: (Don't know if that is the same as a Ruby Red).
On the north end of Cd. Constitucion:
There is no name on it. There is a land for sale sign by the entrance to the area.
The name of the man is Ildefonso Green. He has been there for 30 plus years. He speaks English.
It is 2 driveways to the north of the Gasapasa (propane plant) station on the way to Constitucion on the west side of the road. Sort of kitty corner
from Vivero Magda.
Don't know if he has them this year but hopefully.
Citrus planting is between now and the end of February. After that it is not good to plant citrus. But I actually have planted citrus in all times
of the year.

just wanted to follow up...I stopped by here/there a few weeks ago and picked out my Meyer lemon tree. good place, lots of citrus and other tree type
plants, good prices (100 pesos for the lemon) guy speaks english. a little hard to find but follow the instructions above. it's just past the last
of the three bridges going south, before you rejoin the four lane proper.
