Best-Selling Edibles at Devil Mountain

by Becky Harrington, Director of Business Development at Devil Mountain Wholesale Nursery, an APLD CA Gold Sponsor

Although Devil Mountain offers a full selection of herbs and vegetables that can be special ordered for your project, we tend to focus on larger material when it comes to edible plants. Fruit trees in larger sizes are our specialty, and here are some of our most popular offerings. Check out our edibles collection online.

Citrus limon ‘Meyer Improved’
Improved Meyer Lemon


The Meyer Lemon—a hybrid of lemon and mandarin orange—is the lemon of choice for home gardeners in California. This evergreen fruit tree produces rounded, large to midsize lemons.

Flowers are intensely fragrant, star-shaped, and white. Attracts birds and bees. Needs protection from wind and winter frost.

We carry sizes up to 30” box in several forms – single trunk, bush form, and espalier – providing versatility in the landscape.
