Last Sept. I still had a couple of green lemon's on my tree. Tight now I have a couple of dozen green lemons. The tag on the tree says meyer's lemon. When should the lemons start to change to yellow? Or do I have a lime tree?

Unfortunately mine didn't survive the winter so I don't know... sorry. There is a fruit and nut forum here on davesgarden, where someone will probably have the answer.

I don't know the time frame for ripening in your time zone but I've made a lot of lemon bread and lemonade out of Meyer's lemons and they sure are the right shape.. They're much too large for limes. Key limes are the size of ping pong to golf balls and Persian limes are the size of a plum or small peach.
