Meyer Lemon Treebute Tree

A Bright and Meaningful Tribute

The Meyer lemon is a compact broadleaf evergreen, grown as a small tree or a generous shrub, with glossy dark green leaves and fragrant white blossoms tinged with purple at the base. It blooms more than once a year, with the heaviest flushes in spring and fall, and smooth, deep yellow fruit follows in the months after. 

Each Treebute is a complete memorial tree kit designed to be planted at home, a hands-on ritual that many people find grounding during grief. The act of planting gives your hands something purposeful to do and creates a living connection to someone you love.

Why You’ll Love the Meyer Lemon:

• Fragrant Blooms: Meyer Lemon blossoms produces aromatic white blossoms that fill your space with a natural freshness
• A Tree That Gives Back: Unlike purely ornamental trees, the Meyer Lemon produces real, usable fruit - sweeter and less acidic than store-bought lemons, with thin, fragrant skin. Squeeze one into your tea, zest it over a dish, or simply enjoy knowing that something beautiful grew from your care. Each lemon becomes a small, tangible gift.
• Evergreen Beauty in Every Season: With glossy, dark green leaves that stay lush year-round, the Meyer Lemon never has a bare or dormant phase. It can bloom and fruit simultaneously, so you might see white blossoms, tiny green lemons, and ripe yellow fruit all on the same tree - a living reminder that beginnings and endings coexist.
• Thrives Indoors Year-Round: The Meyer Lemon is one of the easiest citrus trees to grow inside. Place it near a sunny window, water when the soil dries, and watch it flourish. It stays a manageable 4-6 feet in a container - substantial enough to make a statement, compact enough for any living space. Your memorial can be with you every day, not just when you visit outdoors.

Nurturing Your Memorial Tree:

Not a citrus expert? No worries. The Meyer Lemon is hardy, rewarding, and surprisingly easy to grow.

• Light: Full sun is best - at least 6-8 hours of bright light daily. A south-facing window is ideal. If natural light is limited, a grow light can help your tree thrive.
• Water: Water deeply when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry. Meyer Lemons like consistent moisture but not soggy roots. In winter, water less frequently.
• Humidity: Average household humidity works fine. If your home is very dry in winter, occasional misting or a nearby humidifier helps.
• Temperature: Thrives in USDA Zones 8–11; bring indoors if temperatures drop below 40°F. Room temperatures between 55-80°F are perfect. Keep away from cold drafts and heating vents.
• Feeding: Fertilize with citrus food during spring and summer for the best blooms and fruit.

Each moment caring for your tree - watering, watching new leaves unfurl, breathing in the fragrance of blossoms - becomes a quiet act of remembrance.
