is this improved meyer lemon ripe?

Question

I just got this plant today and it already had a lemon when I bought it.

Answer 1

Here are some guidelines you can go by to determine ripeness of lemons:

* color – fruit should be yellow, with maybe a small amount of remaining green at the end.
* squeeze test – it should give somewhat to pressure when squeezed.
* roundness – Meyer lemons tend to get rounder when they are ripe
