I have eaten Both fresh picked NZL's and fresh picked Meyer's  NZL are sweeter and much less sour than Meyer lemon.  NZL lemons can be eaten out of hand.  Meyer lemons are said to eat the enamel of your teeth at half the speed of of a eureka lemon.  NZL lemons are not good for cooking and the peal is sweet with a mild bitter after taste.  If you are looking to eat out of hand the NZL is the only choice.  If you are looking for use in drinks and cooking go Meyer.

Thanks guys!
Yes, the maple tree roots are a problem, they break the surface of the greenhouse floor in several places. 

But at this point removing it is not an option. To clarify, it is only one tree.  It is 70 years old, and absolutely ginormous.  It keeps the greenhouse cool in the summer and is home to several sets of squirrels and a pair of screech owls.

We had three trees cut down to make room for the greenhouse, but even if we cut down our maple tree, there are still the neighbors tree roots. We have a pretty small yard, and the greenhouse takes up half of it.

The property line is just past the maple tree, and six feet to the right of the greenhouse. The rhodies you can see on the left are right up against the house. So yeah, it is pretty tight back there!

I guess I will see what happens!
