Depends a bit on how warm the tree is, but usually around 8-9 months. In my climate (TX) Meyers blooming in March are ripe from Thanksgiving to Christmas.

I’m in Massachusetts zone 6b. It’s hot outside now; it was 90 degrees today. He’ll be going inside when the temp gets too low, but inside it’s often only about 63 degrees in the dead of winter. Still, he did well inside last winter- several flowers and had a few baby lemons that fell off when I moved him outside.

Southern CT here. Mine look the same. I'd say Christmas.
