2-1 Hamlin Orange & Meyer Lemon Cocktail Tree
One of our Just Fruits Cocktail Trees. This is a combination of the Hamlin Orange and Meyer Lemon, grafted onto one tree. Hamlin orange tree is one of our most cold-hardy sweet oranges. Grown since 1885 this early-ripening, is great for marginal citrus growing regions. The fruit is thin skinned, has a few seeds and a delicious tangy sweet flavor. Excellent juiced or for fresh eating. The Meyer lemon tree is a hybrid from China. Superior to true lemons in flavor. 1/4 tangelo and 3/4 lemon, it is thin-skinned and juicy. Rarely found in fruit markets due to the fruit being too tender and juicy to withstand handling. It is prized by cooks for it’s unique mild flavor, many dishes are built around it’s unique flavor. This variety is more cold hardy than most lemons, able to withstand up to 16F.
The Hamlin Fruit ripens October to January and the Meyer Lemon is a year round producer in mild winter areas. On this Multi-Graft Variety, depending on your zone, we would expect both to fruit in the winter season, and the Meyer to have some potential to fruit throughout the year.

Shipping Information
Unpacking Your Plants Guide:  Prior to receiving our plants, please click this link to read our Unpacking Your Plants Guide to get to know the steps to keeping your plant healthy after receiving it.
We do NOT ship bare root:  Our trees are shipped in the same exact containers they are grown in, for the most healthy transition. The plants are watered well before they are packed and wrapped in a shipping bag to ensure they stay moist during transit. It’s as if you came and picked them up right from our nursery yourself!
Why do we not offer free shipping? At Just Fruits, we price all of our plants online exactly as we do in the nursery. Therefore, the shipping coss is simply what it costs for us to get your order from the nursery to you. Many competitors may increase the plants’ prices in order to hide shipping costs… we do not do that. We want our customers to see exactly what the plant costs are, separate from what the shipping costs are. That way if you decided to come visit the nursery to pick up your plants instead, you would know how much you save in shipping.
Weather Watching:  We now ship all year round! However, we do watch for extreme weather. If there is extremely cold or hot weather expected around your shipment date and on your path of shipment, we will contact you and notify you that we plan to hold the shipment for the next possible shipping date with better conditions. If you ask us to still ship it, through the conditions, we will not be responsible for any damage caused to the plant & UPS will not refund any claims. We love our plants, and do not want to see them die, so we would rather wait until it’s the right time to ship it, than risk losing a plant in transit.
