I am growing mine in a large terra cotta pot because I am running out of room in my yard. I read that they do well in a pot (my pot is about 50 gallons). Mine has bloomed, set fruit and is blooming again. I put mine on 2 X 4 with castors. I have several other citrus in large pots as well. When we get that decade bad freeze I plan to roll them against the house and cover all of them. The pot naturally dwarfs the tree and the only trimming I do is clean up (crossed branches, suckers etc.).

I have two Kumquats (Centennial & Marumi), two Lemons (Meyer & Variegated Pink), Limequat (‘Lakeland’), Sunquat & Tangerine (‘Ponkan’) in large pot as well. All seem to be doing well. All have bloomed and set fruit and growing great.

Below is a picture of the Meyers Lemon. It is a bout 4 1/2 feet tall.

Good luck growing
