So far so good. If anyone has experience with bonsai weeping willows I’m open for discussions and advice! I’m trying to make more friends

Included are, my propagating Snake Plant(so exciting, can’t wait for pups!) my three bonsais, one potted in a training pot, my black magic elephant ear(seen better days), and my succulents elephant bush!

The empty pot is me waiting for strawberries to start going, still waiting on any sprouts!

Please Reblog, I want more plant friendly friends ❤️

🥇🌟🏆🌟 for preserving the tree, where so many others have cut them down and paved over.

Someone asked, so editing to add: this is over by the river, just north of (facing) the Astoria Homes.

What Are Meyer Lemon Trees?

In the early 1900s, a member of the US Department of Agriculture discovered and brought back some exotic lemons during his visit to Beijing, China. The name of that individual was Frank. N. Meyer; and that is how the Meyer lemons got their name.

While the Chinese used them mostly as a decorative house plant, as Meyer lemons became more commonly known, people discovered more uses and successfully experimented by adding them as a cooking additive in desserts and drinks.

What do they look like?

If you haven’t come across Meyer lemons yet in grocery aisles, you might be wondering how they look like. Continue reading to find out more.

The fruit

A cross between mandarin and lemons, Meyer lemon, is hybrid in nature. They have a pale orange pulp which is fragrant and sweet in taste. This floral fragrance and sweet taste make these lemons a perfect ingredient for various cocktails and desserts.

If you are wondering how to tell a Meyer lemon from a regular one, here is how. A regular lemon has a brighter yellow skin, while a Meyer lemon has a darker color. The skin of a Meyer lemon is much smoother, and they are also smaller in size and much rounder than a regular lemon. Now coming to the taste test, Meyer lemons are much milder in terms of acidity and are sweeter in comparison. Even the peel of the Meyer lemon is quite tasty.

The tree

Meyer Lemon Trees can grow as tall as ten feet when it is planted in the ground. However, a plant grown in pots will stay smaller and grow according to the size of its pot. The plant inherently grows as a shrub, but it can be snipped into a tree. The Meyer lemon tree has glossy leaves and white flowers. Originally found in China, the plant thrives in warmer and humid environments and can start bearing fruits in around four years. In ideal conditions, the plant can live as long as 50 years.
