Does anyone have 2 different branches on their Meyer's? The original tree that I received in the mail from Shepard's had one main branch. Then another grew above it (so it's not coming from the root stock) and the leaves were much larger, it had thorns. Now the majority of my tree is this larger leaf, but the only branch I ever got flowers on was the original one, only got one lemon. This past June, I had lots of flowers finally on all the branches. But the large leaf branches had white flowers, the original branch had a more purplish hue. Only ended up with 3 tiny lemons on the original branch and now those have all dropped off. Here's a picture from back in June as the buds were just forming:
