Meyer Lemon Treebute: A Sweet, Sunlit Tribute That Keeps Giving
With its cheerful yellow fruit, glossy green leaves, and sweet floral fragrance, the Meyer Lemon tree (Citrus x meyeri) offers a vibrant, uplifting way to honor someone who brought so much zest to your life. Perfect for sunny indoor spaces, patios, or porches, this citrus tree thrives in a planter. Many people love how it can bloom and fruit in cycles, so you may find flowers and golden lemons sharing the branches at the same time

Nurturing Your Memorial Tree
Not a citrus expert? No worries. The Meyer Lemon is hardy, rewarding, and surprisingly easy to grow:
- Light: Loves full sun - ideally 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Water: Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy - water when the top 1–2 inches feel dry.
- Pollination: Self-pollinating, but hand-pollinating blossoms with a soft brush may boost fruiting indoors.
- Pruning: Light pruning encourages airflow and a balanced shape.
Optional: Plant with Cremation Ashes – The Treebute® Difference
For those who wish to incorporate cremation ashes, you can add our Treebute® organic soil blend - specially formulated to create a safer, more nurturing foundation when mixing ashes into soil.
Your tree is meaningful with or without ashes. This is simply an optional way to honor someone you love, when it feels right.
A Living Memorial That Grows With You
Finding a meaningful way to honor someone you love can feel overwhelming. A Meyer Lemon Tree Treebute offers something gentle and life-giving: a living presence you can keep close, nurture over time, and return to in ordinary moments. Many people find comfort in watching buds form, flowers open, and fruit ripen - small signs of continuity that can soften grief and make space for hope.
