When should I expect my Meyer lemons to be ripe? How will I know when they are ready to harvest? Meyer lemons ripen, between November and April. You probably noticed they flowered over a long period of time, and obviously the first fruit to set would be the ones that ripened in November. The fruit will change color as it becomes ripe. In commercial groves, a device that checks the sugar levels in the fruit is used. It costs too much for the homeowner, so our best option is to pick fruit and try it to check ripeness. Meyer lemons are much sweeter than conventional lemons.
