Properly caring for a grafted Meyer lemon tree facilitates fruit production in as little as two years. Seed grown trees fruit in four to seven years. Attractive, evergreen foliage and sporadic, fragrant flowering are among the reasons people like growing Meyer lemons. Production of the lemon fruit is an added bonus.
The container size is essential to growing the Meyer lemon to its full size. A 10- to 15-gallon container will grow a dwarf tree to a height of 10 feet when properly maintained, according to the Meyer lemon tree website. The 10- to 15-gallon container will fit a 3- to 4-year-old tree perfectly.
