What varieties are the best for indoor growing?
By far, the Meyer Lemon is the most popular. It is slightly sweeter than the classic commercial varieties (Eureka and Lisbon). Its thin skin and distinctive, mystical flavor combines lemon with a hint of tangerine. It is easy to grow, prolific and does not need a lot of heat to ripen the fruit. Bearss Seedless Lime is great for beverages and cooking. Kaffir Lime Leaves are used extensively for Thai cooking. Calamondin, with its small tart orange-colored fruit and fragrant blooms is also very popular. (Sometimes it’s called “miniature orange”.) Trovita Orange has sweet fruit in the spring.
