I hear some say Meyer's are the easiest to grow in containers and I hear some say they can't keep them alive - despite great success with other citrus.

I've killed 2 Meyer's now and am thinking about trying a Eureka or Lisbon or Ponderosa. What would you suggest?

Thanks!

I had few experiences with meyer lemon and I would like to say that they are doing better on a trifoliata roots.

And for the other I suggest ponderosa lemon.

If you wish to grow a true lemon cultivar, Eureka is a true lemon, and the trees are mostly thornless. Lisbon is also a true lemon cultivar, but the tree has many thorns. - Millet (609-)

Limequat would also be good. On SO they grow extremely nice in pots.

I would reccomend a pavlovskiy lemon. It is a russian cultivar. It no need a much light and tolerate to dry air.
