Dwarf lemons
Are there any other varieties than the Meyer. Apparently it is not that
tasty. |

I find the Meyer lemon to be useless as a lemon - it is more like a bland yellow orange. I think the only real alternative is to have a real lemon tree. -- Stephen Oakes |

I agree Stephen......Meyers have a low acid content and are useless if
you want them to thicken cheesecake fillings etc. While the filling will taste about the same it won't thicken. I found this out the hard way, by buying a Meyer lemon many years ago with the main purpose for cheesecake fillings, lemon cheese and other delightful things. Will be interesting to see if a dwarf variety of other lemons has been produced, if they have already gone down the road with a Meyer. Bronwyn ;-) Stephen Oakes wrote: "SANDY P" wrote...

Had a chat to them a while back, and they use the most appropriate cultivars for your area when you buy, so they probably have a few varieties around.
