Is this a Meyer lemon?

10 years ago

I had a grafted tree from 4 winds. Much cheaper of the top died one winter and regrew right by the graft. It is impossible to tell if it is the rootstock or the Meyer lemon graft that grew back. It is a year later and I now have fruit, 3 on 2 branches. This first one is mostly ripe and I am trying to confirm if it is a Meyer lemon or the fruit from the rootstock. Any specific ways to tell?

That is a Meyer lemon. My Meyer did the same thing but my Meyers grew 8 inches in diameter and a rind 3/4 inch thick. Cuban shaddock. If your branch has leaves of 3 leaflets thats rootstock. If it has leaves that look like a Meyer and it isn't it will taste like hell

Sure looks like a Meyer; especially the yellow color of the inside.

It seemed way more bitter than I remember but I didn't want to skew any answers by saying that. The leaves on my two trees are very close. One is slightly more serrated and flowered a bit earlier than the other but I wasn't sure if that was significant.

It does look like a Meyer, but it would be nice to see the tree!
