Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Meyer lemon, 1 by DonnieBrook

I'm in zone 10a and have 2 Meyer lemons planted in the ground. This year one of them has been extremely prolific, and it has kept us in fresh squeezed lemonade constantly. I also use a lot of lemons for iced tea and to squeeze on fish and salad greens. Last winter I bought what was supposed to be a dwarf patio Meyer lemon from a local rare plants group. I planted it beside our breakfast patio and I pinched off all the fruit it had on it (painfully!) so that it would establish good roots. When we got back here at the end of October, it had grown to the size of a regular Meyer. It has no fruit on it yet, but that doesn't surprise me, as it is still getting settled in. I do not think it is really a rare patio dwarf, and it was therefore NOT worth as much as I paid for it. LOL
