OK, I am prejudiced... I LOVE Meyer
lemons, aka Valley lemons. Love to eat them raw, like candy <3.

We have ours in the ground.

But if you live in a climate where they will more than likely freeze in the winter, having them in a large pot that you can bring inside in the winter will be preferable. Bu t keep in mind the weight you will be dealing with. Also think about the space where it will be placed.

They enjoy a cool, but not freezing, climate in winter, which is when they begin the bloom cycle, and plenty of sunlight.

If you jostle it around a lot while moving in & out, you will have much blossom drop.

Meyers are quite hardy. Ours are in the ground
outside, in a sunny, south-exposed spot, protected from the wind and in a warm micro-climate.

They survived the past two horrid winters, but
just barely.

Good luck with yours. Thumbs up
At our ranchiito we do NOT keep bees.
They and other critters grace us with their presence, and we provide for their need to the best of our abilities.
