Meyer Lemon & Limequat Cocktail Bush

Double the Citrus, Double the Flavor & Impact The Meyer Lemon & Limequat Cocktail Bush is a compact citrus champ that brings two flavorful fruits together in one planter. With fragrant blooms and evergreen foliage, this 2-in-1 plant is highly productive, making it a favorite for patios, backyards, or even sunny indoor spaces. This clever combination pairs the beloved Meyer Lemon—famous for its sweet, floral flavor that’s part lemon, part mandarin orange—with the Limequat, a unique cross between Key Lime and Kumquat. Whether you’re garnishing drinks, cooking, zesting, or enjoying the harvest, you’ll have both lemons and limes within arm’s reach. Unlike many citrus trees, the Lemon & Limequat Cocktail Bush is compact, container-friendly, and ever-blooming. Once it begins fruiting, you’ll enjoy flowers and ripening fruit year-round. Its fragrant white blossoms brighten up any space, while its continuous crops keep your citrus supply flowing—no grocery runs required. Best of all, both Meyer Lemons and Limequats are among the most cold-tolerant and disease-resistant citrus varieties. Easy to care for, adaptable, and highly rewarding, this Cocktail Bush is perfect for gardeners who want maximum flavor with minimal fuss. Grow yours today!  Planting & Care 1. Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil, or plant in a container with citrus-friendly potting mix. Place in full sun (at least 6–8 hours daily). For outdoor planting, USDA zones 9–11 are best. 2. Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy. Water deeply once the top 2–3 inches of soil have dried. Container-grown plants may need more frequent watering, especially in hot weather. 3. Fertilization: Feed with a balanced citrus fertilizer every 6–8 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding in winter when growth slows, unless grown indoors with consistent warmth and light. 4. Pruning: Lightly prune after harvest to maintain a bushy, compact shape and encourage airflow. Remove any dead or crossing branches. 5. Pollination: This shrub is self-fertile, which means you will get fruit from only one plant.
